Subject: [BRADY] Obits needed for
Rootsweb.com
If anyone on the list gets the following newspapers, I hope you will
consider indexing obituaries for the RootsWeb Obituary Daily Times. As of
April 13, 2003, these Kentucky newspapers are not being indexed:
Ashland Daily I - Ashland Daily Independent - Ashland KY
Barren C-P - Barren Co Progress - Cave City KY
Dawson Spr Prog - Dawson Springs Progress - Dawson Springs KY
Georgetown News - Georgetown News-Graphic - Georgetown
KY
www.georgetownnews.com
Glasgow Daily T - Glasgow Daily Times - Glasgow, Barren Co KY
Glasgow R - Glasgow Republican - Glasgow, Barren Co KY
Glasgow Weekly T - Glasgow Weekly Times - Glasgow, Barren Co KY
Grayson Co N-G - Grayson County News Gazzette - Grayson Co KY
GRH - Greensburg Record Herald - Greensburg KY
www.record-herald.com/obituaries.htm
Harrodsburg H - Herrodsburg Herald ** - Harrodsburg KY
Ledger-Ind - The Ledger-Independent - Maysville KY
http://www.maysville-online.com/
Other Kentucky papers may not even be listed on the ODT publication list
(
http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary/pubs.txt), but it would be great if
they
were identifed and indexed,
I've been contributing since 1995, beginning with the Tri-Valley Herald
when I lived in CA, then moving to IL in 1996 continuing to index the
paper
of the town I moved to as well as the paper from my hometown and that
of
my
husband. It doesn't take much time if you do it daily or weekly.
I get
mine when I go to visit my parent's and mother-in-law who saves the obit's
for me until I retrieve them. It's always interesting to see which obit
gets requested.
Anyone can search the database at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary You
can
then refer to the newspaper to get a copy of the obit (at the library
or
directly with the newspaper itself). A bonus to contributors is the
privilege of requesting an e-mail transmission of the full obit from the
person who indexed it (within 90 days of indexing, unless the contributor
has agreed to hold obits longer.)
About 2,000 new obits are added each day. If you'd like to receive e-mail
notification of obits newly added to the database, you can subscribe by
sending a message to: Gen-Obit-Request(a)rootsweb.com with the message:

If you're interested in becoming a contributor (indexer) see the 'Becoming
a
Contributor' section at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary
Alot of obit information is being lost by these major newspapers not
being indexed. Please consider becoming a contributor.
