I live out of town and do subscribe to the Tribune Democrat, and copy all the obits, because I never know if I'll need one. If you don't have a subscription, the Tribune lets you look at five articles, whether obits or any other articles on the website, and then cuts you off. My concern about posting all the obits is copyright info. I know Lynne Canterbury is currently working on a project, editing obits and summarizing family information (see Obituary Index on the Cambria County genealogy web page). Not sure how current the listing is. My local (Columbus, Ohio) library allows free access to NewsBank Obituaries and Death Notices, which I can access from home; does requires a library card. Under "Limit by Date" I put in the month/year, and under "Obituary Text" list Tribune Democrat, and the obits come up starting with the most current date. If you're being blocked by the Tribune's website you might check to see if your local library has a similar program. More and more newspapers are blocking access to their news articles and posting a notice of subscription rate. In the past few weeks a number of newspapers have started the policy where they aren't blocking access to obits but are only showing the first two sentences of the obituary (i.e., Akron Beacon Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer--gotta love Legacy.com). However, if you do a "save-as" the page as a text file, all the obits and complete text are saved. Then you just have to weed through all the saved garbage text go get to the obits. You can look at each obit individually (haven't tried to see if there is a limited) but I like to save all the obits because it's sometimes months or years later than I discover a distant relative passed away. Then there's the Pittsburgh Tribune, which now only lets you see all the obits for the current day, and afterwards, can only look up individuals obits. As I mentioned weeks ago when we first discovered this issue, guess the "haves" will need to share with the "have-nots." -----Original Message----- From: pacambri-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pacambri-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Joanne Good-Vernalli Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 3:28 PM To: pacambri@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACAMBRI] Johnstown Tribune obituaries ..I have been out of town (Johnstown) for over 10 years now and during that time the Tribune-Democrat OBITUARIES have been online. I had been able to read th obits for family and friends daily and I have been able to go back and read the ones that I missed. I also had been able to search the obits for all the ones that they had currently recorded. For instance, they changed the newspaper 3 or 4 times since I had been out of town and ever time they change, the history of the obituaries was lost and they started over with the obituary history, but I was happy with what I had. The last time they changed was years ago until just recently when they took the opportunity to view the obituaries away unless you paid about $15 a month and on top of it you had to allow them to hoard your payment card and let them pay the bill for you at their convenience. Well, I can't afford to do that and I have my local newspaper that I have to pay for. I read obits from other newspapers also an! d certainly can't afford to 'subscribe' unconditionally to all the newspapers where I read the obits. I am retired and on a very low income. ..I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that would be willing to scan and post the obituaries out of the Tribune-Democrat either daily or weekly and post them to this newsletter. The only reason that I am asking this is that there are a lot of people out there that love doing things like (like the yearbooks for instance) that and I know that I would greatly appreciate that so others probably would to. Plus I think that the feature would be a big plus for this newsletter. I certainly would get the word around because I am sure that there are others who would subscribe to this newsletter if they new that feature was available. Thank-you and God bless - - - - - - - - - -
