Also you can search their obituary index to see if the folks you are looking for have been indexed yet. Look in the links below the Obituary Request Form link. As for the Kansas State Historical Society, have you investigated using their newspaper microfilm interlibrary loan to your local library???? Check with your librarian as your local library may have a fee associated with this service. Note that the Topeka papers are daily, so you could do quite a bit a searching if you do not have exact death dates. This microfilms are also available at your local LDS Family History center. However there is a rental charge per film at the Family History centers. Dave Goldy Overland Park, KS Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
