Barb, If that's the case, you're likely to get just as much information from www.familysearch.org (if not more) and even the SSDI on Ancestry is free access (perhaps through rootsweb.com?). The "full obits" are only there if a registered member edits the information. For instance, if "John Smith" was born 25-Feb-1898, d. 04-Jan-1973, last known residence was East Oshkosh, Wisconsin, that's all the information they've "auto-loaded" from the SSDI. If a registered member is connected to that person or has historical information to add, they merely choose the Edit This Entry (I think) link. That allows the member to add/edit/etc, information on the listed individual. I can't see how they get away with calling it "Obits"... Should be SSDI info with member additions... or something more accurate! :-) Jared > I am a registered member > However I get nothing more on the obits than you do.

Jared and Barb, I just tested a couple of names in my tree that I had not been able to find in roots web or LDS. I found them on the "eons" site; For example: Laura Anderson (nee Brown) died 15 Feb 1967 in Manchester Maine. I found her on www.eons.com, but nothing on any other site. What do you think?

Hi Laura, Laura Anderson is in the ss death index at Rootsweb and LDS. I think you just missed it. Eons is interesting though. I think what the other fellow said earlier is correct. It's the ss death index. They say on Eons that you can go back to 1899. If you type in John Moore died 1900 you will find a listing for him. (I never understood why such early deaths are in the ss death index, but they are. I went through many of the really early deaths one time - very interesting) The same John Moore is in the ss death index.

Thanks Barb. You and Jared are right. I did miss that. At least we now know!

Debra, I note have a BROWN member in your tree, do you have any other BROWNs. If so where do they hail from? My BROWN family were primarily Westmorland County NB & Wallace NS; however, there were some who were scattered in New England.
