Thank you very much, Roger!!! Newspaperarchive.com sounds like a great resource. I had been spending literally days searching for obituaries in libraries. The microfilm in a given library was usually for newspapers only in that city. Then I had to print it out. If I was lucky enough to get a good copy, I still needed to run it thru an OCR program and then retype a lot of it.
