It's always good to hear that someone is getting some benefit from the obituaries. There is so much information to be found in them. With the contributions from Dick Crowe, Dave Gracie, Sheryl Kelso, Shawn McGreevy, Patricia Shaffer, Ruth Sprowls, and Pat Thompson, the obits have really grown in the last year. They have been a big help. If anyone has any obits for their own family, I would be happy to add them to the site, even if it's only one or two.

I appreciate the time and effort it takes to make such a contribution and I'm sure many will be assisted. Pauline

I hope researchers take the time to read (or at least scan through) the obituaries and not just read the names in the subject line. I have found many clues for extended families in obituaries that I would have never guessed had ties to my family's lines.
