A lot of these postings involve original requests over FIVE years ago, and a number of the original posters have not been active for years. Several times in the past, this board has identified information found in database systems for the Seattle newspapers are NOT the full obituaries but only death notices. These papers have not released the full obits due to "copyright" (read payment required). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
