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.
Volunteer listings are by city, with countrywide listings last, and related
countrywide links
below.
The areas the volunteer covers and the resources available are listed along with the volunteer's name and e-mail address, and web page if any. Entries in
green are web sites for libraries, newspapers, death records, cemeteries, and genealogical/historical societies. Many library web sites have information about local obituaries and newspapers.
To volunteer to do lookups in your area,
for questions about the mailing list,
for help with obit requests,
to report a broken link,
or for other comments or questions,
