Not trying to be ungrateful but I am always surprised at how neglected our Obit resources are. Maybe it's because all the "pros" already have them.

Dear Emmett, Sometimes I feel the same way and then I think about what is not available here in Detroit. There is no index to the death notices in the Detroit newspapers. If you know the date of death the library staff at the main Detroit Public Library will look for three days and charge you $2.50 (I think that is the going rate) for the copy and postage.
