How To Search the Obituary Archives

Embark on your journey into your family's past by simply entering the last name of the relative you're curious about and clicking the "Search" button. This straightforward process is a great way to begin your exploration of the obituary archives.

If you need more detailed information, here are the steps for an advanced search:

  • Begin by typing the first and last names of your ancestor. Include a middle name if you know it for better accuracy.
  • Add specific details like their school or hometown to focus your search.
  • Leave out terms that don't relate to your search to avoid unrelated results.
  • Include a range of years. With records going back nearly 150 years, it helps to narrow down to the right person.

Here are some strategies to help ensure successful searches:

  • Start with the ones from your most recent relatives and trace back to the older ones.
  • Consider a browse by the initials: many of the older records still exist in that format.
  • If you want to learn something about a married woman relative, the best search is under her husband's surname.
  • Try different spellings of names since older records often contain typos.

These methods can help you find more about your ancestors and confirm the details.
