Perhaps I was a bit premature in my observations. It appears that going to "some" of the individual newspapers you must also purchase the obituary through the news archives. The difference being though through the newspaper is a bit cheaper. $2.95 per article rather than $3.50 There are also more pricings available through the newspapers such as a one week pass 3 articles for $6.95. I apologize for not digging a little deeper before making my last observation regarding obitsarchive.com. There are so many scams out there regarding genealogy, always use caution before signing up and paying for any service. I have collected a few of the known scams over the years and put it on my website if you want to review it. http://linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/genscams.html Ellen- *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 1/25/2005 at 8:20 PM Ellen- (Waukesha) wrote: >Obitsarchive.com looks like a scam to me.
