    3. http://www.yahoo.com, Click on this and in the search window type online+newspapers. The item at the top, where it says NEWSPAPERS ONLINE is where I found these newspapers. I just found this newspaper site yesterday. I heard that someone I knew had died in Arkansas and she was a distant cousin and I wanted the obit and I found it. I bookmarked the sites. You can find lots of things with this YAHOO URL. Under the search window you will see more search engines, try them too. When I am looking for something I type the plus sign between the words and it narrows down the search. Like Stoddard+County+Missouri. Like pineapple+cheesecake. Like George+Washington. I have found biographies, recipes, and many, many things on this site. http://fl.mlive.com/obits/index.ssf Click on this to go right to the Flint Journal for obits. You can find older ones back to 1997 just by typing in the surname. Now I know I will not be able to get into this site today because it will be sooooo busy. :-) Phyllis ----- Original Message ----- From: Mona Hagy-Rose <[email protected]> To: Phyllis Campbell <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 9:34 AM Subject: RE: [MOSTODDA-L] DUCKWORTH OBITS > Phyllis > > could you give me the site address for this online newspaper? > > Thanks > > Mona > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Phyllis Campbell [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 12:01 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [MOSTODDA-L] DUCKWORTH OBITS > > > > > > I found these in an online newspaper and thought maybe someone > > might be interested.
