I didn't see a death notice for either name in the Pittsburgh Press . If you cannot find anything by using a name then leave it blank and just search for the date range. Or you can go here, http://news.google.com/newspapers#P and browse the papers. HTH Deb -----Original Message----- Hello: I am searching the deaths of two of my husbands uncles. The first is Charles Anthony Sperl d. 8 April,. 1918. My husbands say the family story is he fell under a moving train and his two legs were amputated. (Millvale PA) He was employed by the railroad. The second is another uncle, Joseph Edward Sperl d. 11 February , 1920. (Millvale PA) He is the brother of the above Charles. When I try to search the index all I get is the notice that the issues are unavailable. I would like to find the obits and I would like to know the procedure for reading these archived newspapers. I find it hard to believed that for two years the papers are unavailable. Claudia Sperl
