You might try this site: http://www.ernie.cummings.net/month.htm If you have a month and year, plus which day (Sunday or Monday), and know the approx. date, you can probably figure out the actual date. This is a pretty neat site and helpful when dealing with old newspaper obits. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sue Dotson <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 9:14 PM Subject: [NEBRRoots] Omaha World-Herald Obituaries > I had my first experience with the need to retrieve a current online > obituary of a relative from the Omaha World-Herald.

I appreciate your suggestion. The site is interesting and I'm sure will be helpful at other times, but for now I am wanting to know what day and date a relative died last week.
