The obits. in the Perry Co. genealogy collection is mixed years, and to date, not indexed. The very oldest ones have been found when we were reading newspaper microfilms or donated by patrons and members. The majority of the obits. are very recent (1990's) We have a part time worker in our genealogy area on Mon. Tues. Thurs and Fri. She is usually there after 10:00 a.m. Some days she is there until 4:00 and other days she leaves at 12:00. A quick call to the lib. (genealogy dept.) on one of these days should answer your question as to whether your person is in our file, or you may send me the name and I'll check the next time I am there. The Ohio Historical Soc. in Columbus has a vast collection of newspapers on microfilm, but I don't know if they do look ups. The P. C. Chapter OGS welcomes donated material such as obits., family & county histories, yearbooks, pictures, school & church information, and pedigree charts, etc. Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue" <pode1@earthlink.net> To: <OHPERRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [OHPERRY] Death Certificate > Sue > Do you happen to know how far back those obits go.
