    Site Redesign

    We apologize for being a bit slow to add obituaries during the past month or two.   Aside from taking some time off, We are undergoing a site redesign to emphasize our movement away from links to the publishing of data.   This redesign process is now underway and is reflected on the change to our home page.   This general format, emphasizing data transcriptions, will be spread throughout the entire site over the next couple of months.   We appreciate your patience while we take care of this necessary transition and promise to get our noses back to the grindstone as autumn approaches.

    * * * * * * * * * * *

    We hope these free databases help you in your research.   Remember, we are adding more records all the time.   Please check back regularly to see if we've added something useful to you.

    Happy hunting and please remember we are all distant cousins.

    Sincerely,
    David Podmajersky
