I have been in contact with the webmaster at the FNP and they advised they will have the archived obits from 1998 upto 2012 back up on Monday. We will see!! As for the paid archived here is the link http://fredericknewspost.newspaperarchive.com/Default.aspx. Even thou it cost about $50 a year, I have found it real useful for going back into the older papers for the obits and other articles, but the pictures are not the greatest as Dorinda advised.
