Obituary Look Ups

Michelle is able to do free lookups for obits and special articles. The service for the searching is free. The only charges are for the copies and the postage which is very minimal.

Michelle has listed all the areas and time frames for the papers that she is able to check. The list will be updated as more become available. Please send your requests directly to Michelle. She apologizes in advance but will not respond to any requests that are made via the mailing list. Thank you.

Here some helpful hints for sending requests for searches. If you provide some or all of the following then the search is quite more successful.

NAME (including middle initial if possible)
MAIDEN NAME & MARRIED NAME (including spouses name if known)
DATE OF DEATH (at least approximate)
DATE OF BIRTH (if known)
TOWN OF LOCATION (last known)

If you do not have any these, please provide what you do have. Any little bit helps and will give you better results.

Michelle has received many requests and has had quite a lot of success.
Reminder, the service for the searching is free. The only charges are for the copies and the postage which is very minimal.
