The list has been quiet for quite a while now with the exceptions the obituaries that I post on a daily basis. You may wonder why I do this... Greg, Doug, Cecil and others have contributed significantly to my Lovelace family tree both directly and indirectly and this is my way of “paying back” to them and to you by providing information to the Lovelace archives. When you are doing research on your families the census can only take you as late as 1940, after that the sources are scarce. Obituaries can often bridge the gap between the last census and the current generation because there are often 3 generations published in the obit. It also is a valuable source for maiden names and other married names. In order to liven the list up a little, I am asking you to post your favorite search sites. Mine are: ancestry.com, familysearch.org, whitepages.com and findagrave.com. Bob Stewart

Your local Family History Center is a good place to use some of the paid websites that have been mentioned to the list. To find the center nearest to you, go to this site https://familysearch.org/locations/ <https://familysearch.org/locations/> You don’t have to be LDS to use a center; I’m not LDS, but find the centers helpful for using paid websites to see what is offered - and for ordering microfilms of documents from places I can’t visit. Family History Centers provide free access to many subscription genealogy websites, including: 19th Century British Newspapers <http://newspapers.bl.uk/blcs/> Newspaper Archives <http://newspaperarchive.com/> Alexander Street Press <http://alexanderstreet.com/products/cwld.htm> (American Civil War Collections) Ancestry.com <http://www.ancestry.com/> (Family History Library Edition) ArkivDigital Online <http://www.arkivdigital.net/> findmypast <http://www.findmypast.co.uk/> Fold3.com <http://www.footnote.com/> HeritageQuest Online <http://www.heritagequestonline.com/hqoweb/library/do/index> Historic Map Works <http://historicmapworks.proquest.com/> (Library Edition) Origins.net <http://www.origins.net/> Paper Trail, A Guide to Overland Pioneer Names and Documents <http://www.paper-trail.org/> WorldVitalRecords.com <http://worldvitalrecords.com/> and more at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Family_History_Center_Portal <https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Family_History_Center_Portal> Martha Genealogy - So many ancestors...so little time! > On Feb 22, 2015, at 4:03 PM, bgsroots via <[email protected]> wrote: > > In order to liven the list up a little, I am asking you to post your favorite search sites.

>From what I can tell, it appears the Florence Times Daily (Lauderdale County AL) newspaper has changed how it reports obituaries.  It appears the last day Times Daily obituaries were in the Legacy.com system was March 12, 2015.  Previously, unless one had a paid subscription to the Times Daily newspaper, one was limited to viewing 10 online articles per month  -  but the Legacy.com obituaries weren't included toward the 10-article count.  Now viewing each Times Daily obituary is apparently considered an article for purposes of the free 10-article count.  I'm assuming the obituaries will also no longer appear in Bob's queries.  Doggone, but I'm reluctant to pay $104 a year just to read obituaries in an area I moved away from 35 years ago . . . . .
