I thought this information might be of interest. The Milwaukee County Genealogical Society will do obituary look ups (as well as other research) for a $5.00 fee per each request. Information can be found on their web site http://www.execpc.com/~mcgs/ Also The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on line can be searched for obituaries from April, 1999 to the present. The web site is http://www.jsonline.com/ Hope this helps some of you. Mary

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel actually has obituaries going back to 1997 in its online computer files but it seems to be a matter of chance which ones are there. If you do have an obit occurring in 1997 or 1998, it is worth trying to punch it in at the site. I've found many in that time period. Unfortunately, my aunt's brother wasn't one I was able to access. Quite a few of her other relatives were there though, and I was thus able to access names she'd never mentioned to me.

The only bad thing about Journal/Sentinel obits is they started to charge people to print them, so many haven't had an obit to be printed. <sigh> ~Cherie At 11:11 PM 7/18/01 -0500, you wrote: >The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel actually has obituaries going back to 1997 >in its online computer files but it seems to be a matter of chance which >ones are there.
