Hi All: As I recall, except for a period a few years back when there was a loophole in their software, one has always had to pay to see everything but a relatively small number of C-H back obits. E.g., the Obits CD and their arrangement (which I have never been able to fathom) with Ancestry.com. With most newspapers, it's just a question of how far back things are free. I know that some New England papers allow free on-line access to ten years worth, while other papers give you a week of freebies and that's it. To my possibly perverted way of thinking, since the obits are copyrighted by the paper and it costs them money to support Internet access to their server, ANY unrestricted on-line access, even if it's only a few days worth, is a gift, whatever its motive. :-) -----Bob H----- On 3/31/2010 4:08 PM, Ginny Bergmann wrote: > It sounded to me like he was saying they were charging a fee to see the obits now. > > Virginia (Ward) Bergmann > Researching Hants County surnames: > WARD, MOSHER, CALDWELL, LOWTHERS, BERRY > > > > >> Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:07:31 -0400 >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [NS-L] Chronically Horrid >> >> Not sure if this is a similar process, but when a webpage doesn't allow >> one to copy with the mouse and right-click option, IF the desired text can >> be highlighted, then highlight and use the menu bar version of Edit and >> Copy.
