Obituary Index & Obituary Purchase

We have over 100,000 obituaries in our files. In May of 2010 we indexed and placed over 50,000 on our web site. In January of 2011 we increased the number of obituaries in the index on our web site to over 75,000. and in May 2011 we added another 20,000 obituaries. As time permits we will index the remaining obituaries and add them to the list.

In some cases obituaries for a person appeared in more than one newspaper. So there may be more than one obituary for an individual. Occasionally two different people have the same name. And in a few instances the same obituary was collected by two different individuals and later indexed separately in two different books.

If an obituary reported the maiden name of a married woman, that name was recorded in our index. Since these obituaries were indexed by different people, maiden names were sometimes recorded in parentheses after the woman's first name and sometimes in a separate column of data.
