If anyone knows Ron Collins who is posting the obituaries for Yadkin county related people on the Ancestry.com mailing list, please ask him to contact me. I would like to abstract them for the Yadkin site and give him credit. I know that many if not most CCs refuse to post recent obits because it can be a real chore, especially when they are expected to post them on the day they are first published but I have personally found them very helpful as I continue my own family research. By abstracting I do stick to the basic facts which avoids any potential of copyright violation. Most papers do not mind even if the entire obituary is used but some do. When someone has limited time, I can certainly understand but I am fortunate. I have no other obligations so this is a full time job for me, even if I am slower than cold molasses and no longer very productive. I know that others across the country have been kind enough to send me many obituaries for my own family related lines and I simply cut and past them as a note into my database and they automatically post when I update my family site which is only once or twice a year.
