Hi, There is a similar website at the link below. http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/ Regards Julie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Sent: 19 March 2010 10:42 To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [WRY] Family Notices Forwarded by the List Administrator on behalf of Nigel Penton Tilbury I have just launched www.familynotices.org which is a totally non-commercial & privately-owned site and I hope to attract postings from the past as well as new social events. Following the death of a close family member, I was infuriated and worse, at the outrageous charges the local newspaper made for posting just a small obituary. It made me think through the whole 'death notices' thing and I pondered how some persons are at their lowest ebb when trying to attend to the small details. I felt that possibly many were either disturbed at the whole horrible process and therefore would say "Yes" to anything just to be able to end the telephone conversation, or they were suffering the modern-day piety/mawkishness and want to spend as much as possible 'to show how much they cared...' - regardless the 'local rags' love it! So I created FamilyNotices.org - which is an on-line repository for all notices of Births, Deaths, Marriages, Engagements, Anniversaries and Missing Persons. This has the advantage of being world-wide, unlike the 'local rag' and better still - is free. Also it doesn't get thrown in the rubbish bin after a quick read! Please feel free to help yourself and post anything which is relevant and appropriate - and it doesn't have to be current. Details of 'Auntie Millie born in 1896' is just as relevant as a modern-day wedding notice. If you like it, please tell your friends .........& if you don't just tell me! Cheers for now, Nigel ______________________________________________ FamilyNotices.org - the free online repository for all notices of Births, Deaths, Marriages, Engagements, Anniversaries and Missing Persons Doing it for free - unlike the newspapers !
