Hi From Western Australia: I am really really keen to find information about my late stepfather, Herbert Allison Davis. I did a search on the Rootweb SSI site and discovered that Herb was born Sept. 21, 1914 and died 24 November 1996 and resided at his death in Hyattsville, MD. A Rootweb search also revealed 2 listing on OBIT TIMES. They indicate that the Washington Post had printed articles about his death as follows: DAVIS, Herbert A., Wash DC Post, 1996-11-20; remik DAVIS, Herbert Allison; Hyattsville MD; Wash DC Post, 1996-12-1; andrusko I have tried contacting the Washington Post and they can't find any record of the obituary articles mentioned above. I have also tried to find email addresses for the Prince Georges County Library in Hyattsville, MD and I can't find any listed. I had hoped that perhaps the library might have 1996 copies of obits. I am trying to find about Herb and his father for my half-brother, Doral Allison Davis. Our mother and Herb Davis divorced when Doral was 18 months old and he has not seen Herb or the family since then. Doral was in shot in the spine in about 16 years while at work. He is now a quadriplegic and I think this information this would give him a big lift. If anyone could help in any way, it would be very much appreciated. Best wishes to all you genealogy searchers. I too have done a great deal of research over the past few years. It sure is more difficult to research US family from Western Australia! JoAnn O'Neil Mandurah, Western Australia
