Handout for 08 January 2022 meeting with Shannon Combs-Bennett.

An obituary is one of the prized finds for researchers but how do you find them? Those elusive articles and notices printed in newspapers can be near impossible if you don’t know where to look.  In this presentation you will learn about the history or obituaries, other forms of death notices, how to use historical sources to find them, and of course what you can do on-line to aid your search.
