Before making a request, do a quick
Web Search
in case the obituary is available there.
If you find a volunteer for your area, use the listing's Email link to send
your request directly to him or her. If you don't find a volunteer, send
your request to the
mailing list
(see
OBIT-LOOKUPS-L Mailing List for subscription information).
After receiving a lookup,
post or publish
the obituary or an abstract to help other researchers.
Please do not send the same request to more than one volunteer.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS - Please consider volunteering
for your area, even on a limited basis, because every lookup
helps someone.
Becoming a Volunteer has more information.
