This is forwarded FYI from another mail list: ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Obit & funeral home website Thanks for the info about ArrangeOnline, which has great info on Funeral Homes in the US and Canada .... the site has one really major flaw, however, which will be terribly misleading to genealogists and family historians who use it to search for info on their relatives for Family Histories..... It lists a definite date of the "first of the month" wherever the exact date of a birth or a death is missing on the Social Security Death Index, from which it is apparently copied. > I checked three persons. Each obit flatly stated the person died Dec. 1 (not true, Dec. 22), March 1 (actually March 9), and July 1 (not true, real date July 2). > If we use this site for genealogy, as suggested, we will all have numerous relatives who are listed as being born or dying on the first of the month .... totally inaccurately. Furthermore, we will never know if our relative actually was born or died on the 1st, or if this organization simply assigned that date arbitrarily rather than admitting they didn't know the exact day! > What a shame they chose to do it that way! I fear it will do enormous harm if genealogists use this site! > > ----- Original Message ----- A new site named ArrangeOnline, has been formulated in cooperation with the National Funeral Directors Association. It has sections to arrange upcoming fumerals, but sections of this website can provide assistance to family historians. > > The obituary database is provided by the National Obituary Archive. I entered SHANNON only in the surname box & it had 5576 obit listings (alphabetical by given name or intial). The SHANAHAN surname listed 1158 entries. This database is not comprehensive, but it may be useful to researchers. > > The database of funeral homes is also searchable by country, state, city -- and even by zip code! This is a great way to locate current funeral homes in the city where your ancestor died, allowing you to contact them to see if their records contain any data on his or her funeral (and family). > > The ArrangeOnline website is still expanding into its role, but the data currently online can already be helpful to genealogists in the United States and Canada. <A HREF="http://www.arrangeonline.com/">ArrangeOnline</A> > > or > > http://www.arrangeonline.com/
