Doug and others, Yes, obituaries are a important part of genealogical research. But, there is a place to make record of those obits on a RootsWeb website. Go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary/. You are more than welcome to post them at the free RootsWeb website designed specifically for obituaries. Please do not post them on the county mail lists. I have no objection to a one-liner with the name, place, and date. BTW, the responses to me personally have been 100% agreeing with me that obituaries do NOT belong on the list. Some have indicated that they will unsubscribe because of the trouble of weeding through the obits. >Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2001 23:32:06 -0400 >From: "Doug Hull" <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [PAWESTMO-L] Armstrong and Westmoreland Co Mail Lists > >Nate, > >Please let me know what I should do -- I will suspend my obit postings for >the next day or two until I hear something but in the absence of a message >from the list admin, I will continue to post the obits after a couple of >days.
