Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008 
 |
Do You Know that you can search just the
Obituaries
on
the site by using the three County Specific Obituary selections
in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the
Current
What's New Page? You can narrow your search by including a key
word in the cemetery name or a township name in addition to the surname
you search. Then select the Find All Words option.
You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings
partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage,
and some other partitions. |

| Reading a series of obituaries from a single
cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational
history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular
time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and
school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women
identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can
not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |
| SRGP ID Added in parentheses by Joyce M .Tice
if included in her Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project. If you are researching
or descended from any of those so designated, it is requested that you
share your research with Joycs's SRGP if you have not already done so.
That is the price I ask for making this site available. It is your opportunity
to share in the cost of creating this site and reward Joyce just a tad
for making this enormous body of resource available to you. It is a way
to pay your dues in a small way for use of this site. Please reference
the SRGP ID and the page you found this on the site, when you write to
me. For women listed under a married alias, I have provided her real name,
if I know it. |
