Hi Listers ... I've had such wonderful help from this list and particularly OmahaMom and Catherine Caffrey. They passed along several key sites that spilled forth an amazing amount of information on my particular family and may be useful to others here: 1. Forest Lawn Cemetery, Omaha has most of my Omaha family buried in Sections 5 and 7. :) And, it is an *enormous* cemetery indeed. The site is at: www.forestlawnomaha.com <http://www.forestlawnomaha.com> 2. For more current information (primarily archives are recent but reach back to 2000) was the Omaha World-Herald: http://www.omaha.com/ (the main page); and the archives at: http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=527 3. And, at RootsWeb, this ambitious and wonderful project to put online the obituaries of the past: http://www.rootsweb.com/~neobits/index.htm Now to share more ... I've been on a number of Norwegian mailing lists and got a real "goodie" the other day. When inquiring about a record, I had sent along the very long URL for them to see the source of my problem. One of the responses sent me this site -- which shortens URLs (leaving them to function properly). I can't tell you how many times I've used it since. Hope you all find it helpful, too. It's free but stays online as a tool: SnipURL site: http://snipurl.com/ You copy/paste your monster URL into it and it will give you the new abbreviated form which you can copy/paste into your eMail query. For those of you using Digitalarkivet in Norway this will be helpful! Their URLs are getting more and more complex when you get down to a specific page of source information! To ALL of you, *thank you* ... :) Karen (Oleson) West Palm Beach, FL --
