I'm sure everyone but me was aware of this site, but just in case: http://news.svnn.net/index.asp?start=true The trick is to first click on each of newspapers listed. Most, but not all, have OBITUARIES listed on the left hand side. I'm only back to November 9th and have already found thirteen people listed in my database in "The Valley Banner". I made the mistake earlier of clicking on "Search the SVNN database" trying to find obituaries for specific people. It doesn't work that way. Maggie
