I've gone to CPL several times and I've ordered online being from out of town and I've never seen an copied obituary or indexed cemetery card read any different then what's on the CPL site. Only the CPL later obits (those after 1975) would contain more information then posted online (Clenix). Of course if someone is not listed at either CPL site then they didn't have an obit. The only way I've ever looked further would be in a case where there might be a small article on the death, my great grandfather was a Cleveland Policeman and was killed in 1923, that offered more then the obit.

This is not true ... especially for the pre-1975 obits. I know they found one for me that was not in the Necrology file. So if you don't find it online, you should still ask. -- Dennis M.

If you know the date of death, check the newspapers on the days following that date. I found my great-grandfather's death notice (1922) and his son's death notice (1907) in the Cleveland newspapers, when they were not in the necrology. I asked the librarian about this discrepancy, and he replied that when the necrology file was in hard copy in file cases people would remove them for various reasons (they wanted a remembrance of the death or they didn't want the record on public view). He said this happened more than you would imagine. Every time I can't find an item that I really need in the necrology, I check the Cleveland newspapers. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Mac Suibhne <barkupthetree@yahoo.com> To: OHCUYAHO-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 11 May 2005 03:29:58 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [OHCUYAHO] CPL Necrology Index I've gone to CPL several times and I've ordered online being from out of town and I've never seen an copied obituary or indexed cemetery card read any different then what's on the CPL site.
