Melissa, I agree with your reasoning. The older obits would probably have names that we may be researching, however, these recent obits really have the information we all probably already know. You are doing a great job and I, for one, appreciate it.

Ever since I started collecting, posting, and sharing obituaries I am very reluctant to post very recent obituaries for children and especially infants. It's kind of funny, it doesn't bother me to post an obituary of the death of a child or infant from the 1970's or the 1950's and so on, but recent child deaths just seem to be something that I should not post. As a genealogy researcher, I know that this child's death is part of the family history, but I worry that it is not the proper thing to post so I haven't. I thought about if it was my child and what would I want, and to be honest, I don't think it would not bother me, but then again I understand the family history associated and it hasn't happened to me. Am I doing the right thing?
