How To Search the Obituary Archives

Ready to begin your search? Start by entering the last name of the relative you're curious about into our user-friendly search tool. Then, simply click "Search." This straightforward process is your first step towards unearthing fascinating details about your hidden relatives.

Get Specific with Advanced Searches:

  • Type in the first, middle, and last names of your relative to get the most accurate results.
  • Add a specific word, like a school name or a town, to narrow your search.
  • Leave out certain words to avoid results that aren't related to your family.
  • Use a specific year range, especially since common names can make your search harder.
  • Change how you sort the results—by the best matches, newest, or oldest entries.

Here are some tips to help you find the right information:

  • Use details from relatives you already know about to find older generations.
  • Try searching with initials, as many old obituaries used them instead of full names.
  • If you're looking for information about a married female relative, try searching with their husband's name.
  • Consider common misspellings, as names weren't always checked properly in the past.
