We at the Society are also available to look up any persons in the books for you. Also, we have access to the obituaries, if they were published and you have the date. Within the next year, we hope to have all the newspaper obituaries abstracted and it will certainly make life a lot easier for all volunteers. There are 122 years of newspapers to go through. We have 60 years of the papers abstracted already. 35 additional years have been done previously however, we wish to go over them to see if many were missed. That leaves us with 27 years we haven't touched yet. We only started about a year ago so feel we are moving right along. The Sharon Newspapers start in 1876. We abstracted the marriages and births that were in the papers before 1920. I might add it is a small group doing the abstracting. If we can be of help please let us know.
