There's 112,000+ on the Omaha Obits web site. There would be more if I could find more help to index. I have applied for a grant to get money to do digital images of obit pages (sorry can't afford to do it that way on my personal budget), and IF the grant comes through, I'll be able to get about 20 years worth added (assuming I find people willing to help type in the format we use, from a picture that they are sent over the internet...otherwise it will get done, but much slower. If the grant comes through, I'll let you know, because the more people willing to type a day or two, the more names we can add faster.) _www.omahaobits.wordpress.com_ (http://www.omahaobits.wordpress.com) Most weeks there are about 1000 names added. And a couple weeks ago, J. Davis sent me what he had indexed from 1930, which added over 2500 names. That was very much appreciated by families of those folks. Do you know what time period you're looking at? Or religion? In the G.O.G.S. cemetery reading project, we've been able to access the interment data bases for several cemeteries in the Omaha area, and even though we don't necessarily have the cemetery reading done yet (we plan to include those who don't have markers with their death date, and an interment date for those whose stones only have a year of death.)--we can sometimes find a date for you in the mean time. I have a couple of the cemetery data bases on my computer, and the gal spearheading the project has the rest on her computer (sorry she will be out of town for a couple weeks, as her mother is having surgery--but even that may be faster than not having anything else to go on.) If you email me off list, please let me know what religion you think they were. Protestants are likely to eliminate about half of the choices in the county, as we have quite a number of Jewish & Catholic cemeteries where we usually don't find the Protestants--for example. Also at any given time, I may have two or three hundred or more names in the holding file waiting to go on-line with the next up date. Karen In a message dated 2/5/2008 1:35:53 P.M.

I did find an index for one person, however, I was wondering if there is another site or place that might have more. Thanks for your help in advance!
