Hi all, To my way of thinking we should have a copy of the obit etc on both the state/ county where born and where died. if someone was looking for an obit, all they might have is where they were born, or maybe just where they died. I have saved the Marion CO. Fl. obit, and whenever there is a county site, it will be on there. In fact, I'm thinking of having an "Misc Florida Obits page" where it can be put right now to get it on line. For what it's worth, I'm working on Baker county right now. What say??

For example, should there be a database in, for example, New York, which lists those who, according to their death certs, were from New York, but who died in North Carolina? It wouldn't have to include the entire record, only the bits indicated there and a link to the records in the appropriate county (my thoughts). I think, using #5 above, that if I created a database in New York or Pennsylvania, I would only identify the deceased, dates, and a link to the county where the record is located. If we work together to create these types of databases, we could be the absolutely most amazing project around!!! But, we'd all have to be willing to work at this type of thing. > > Jeanne/jmh > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
