Fred and listers: Regarding Fred's post below, when did the newspaper, the "Valley Daily Dispatch"/old "Vandergrift Valley Daily News" begin publication? Are they on microfilm? If so, where would these films be located? Are they on LDS microfilm? Also, good point about the obits. I think on other lists that I subscribe to, there are specific sites for obits to be posted. And please don't misunderstand! The people who are taking the time to type and send these are performing a fine service, and I take my hat off to them. But it might be helpful to have a section/site/URL where these can be posted.

Would it not be better to have a website to store those obits and put a one-liner for each name, place, and date. Better yet, just make it known that those obits are probably already online at the newspaper's website. We don't need to be filling the A&W Co mail list archives with the obitaries. BTW, there is another online newspaper that also is of of special interest to all those in the Alle-Kiski valley, the Valley Daily Dispatch (old Vandergrift Valley Daily News) at http://www.pittsburghlive.com/valleynewsdispatch/. It has articles and obituaries for the shared area. There are other area newspapers that are online. -- mailto:[email protected] ______________________________

LDS does not have the newspaper on film. I borrow what I need on ILL from the State Library in Harrisburg. I'm not sure about the dates.
