One or more of the messages you find will have a link and information on how to get obituaries from the Genealogy Dept. of the library. If an obituary was published in 1982 in either the KC TIMES or KC STAR newspapers they will be able to find it with just the SSDI information. They can also check their indices for the Independence newspaper. Good Luck Dave Goldy Overland Park, KS Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
