I have a suggestion. How about posting the obituaries to the proper County Message board? Those for Mercer Co. will be gatewayed, I believe, so the list members will be able to see them. The others, in neighboring counties, one can see by looking only at Obituaries on the Message Boards. Since you can also sort by date, and search by surnames (be sure to list all the surnames in the obit in the surname line, NOT the surnames the poster is researching), they will be easily retrievable by all interested researchers. The MOMercer board: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/rw/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.mercer My two cents, Valorie Joan Bell wrote: > > I disagree, please post all Obits through the Mercer County List and I have > relatives there with a lot of different names.
