How To Search the Vicksburg Post Obituary Archives

You can start your research by typing in the last name of the relative you're researching and pressing "Search."

If you want more specific results, follow these steps for a deeper search:

  • Start with the full name of your relative. Adding a middle name helps get more accurate results.
  • Add a keyword, like the name of a school or town, to narrow down your search.
  • Remove certain keywords to avoid results that aren't relevant to your family.
  • Include a range of years. Since the archives cover nearly 150 years, this can help you distinguish between people who have the same name.
  • Adjust how your results are sorted—by best matches, newest entries, or oldest entries.

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

  • Start with what you know about recent family members to help find older ones.
  • Try searching with initials since many old obituaries used them instead of full names.
  • If you're looking for information about a married female relative, search using her husband's name.
  • Look for common misspellings, as names weren't always spelled correctly in the past.
