Gloria, I have had great success in obtaining obituaries from the Public Libraries in the locality of death/home. I looked on Library site for Pikeville KY and found the following (no email tho); Pikeville Free Public Library 343 Main STreet Pikeville, Ky 41501-1135 Phone 606=432-1285 When you are requesting information from an archived micro-filmed newspaper you must furnish as many facts as possible. Normally they will only do one or two. Must have: Name Must have: Date of death (usually within a couple of days) Good to have: Parents, siblings, spouse, children Always ask their policy for the look-ups, costs etc., Most only charge for the cost of the copy and postage (I usually try to send more as a donation for the library-$5.00). I have found the library attendants/people to be extremely helpful and nice. Good hunting Barb in OH
