Laura, I have read obits and death notices often at the Central Library but they are, of course on microfilm. You get them (the films) on the 2nd floor, down past the Humanities Room. Let me warn you though, the papers were not as involved in printing obituaries and/or death notices back then. I found that many times there were no Death Notices at all and only obituaries for the so-called famous people of Milwaukee. Bob

Thanks for the information Bob. It sounds like slim to none for me then. But I can check it off my list of search spots then!

Bob, have you (or has anyone else on this list) ever done much investigating of the German language papers to see if this is equally true for those papers? My German isn't strong enough to do this (not yet, anyway), but am just wondering if anyone has found them in the German papers. mrf Laura Bender wrote: > Thanks for the information Bob.
