Robert Ragan's recent genealogy newsletter provides an interesting website and a suggestion on finding and using obituaries to gain family history information. This is the site: http://www.gebbieinc.com/dailyint.htm I also like http://newslink.org/ Both provide a list of newspapers with internet versions. Choose a state of interest to you, then a newspaper in the town you may think has relatives; then obituaries, then archives. You can find the reference on an explorer page with Control-F, once the page has loaded. However, in my test case, Hopewell, VA, the Poythress was a street name. Ragan's own site is http://amberskyline.com/treasuremaps/fhhindex.html. His emails come with a lot of hype and promotion, but still most have suggestions worth considering. This installment suggests how to read an obituary, but I leave that part up to him. I know many of you already subscribe. Diana
