I wish I could help you from Florida. I did help out Somerset Co, PA just a
little.

Thanks, Jerry,
Wanna help? The thing is, I am concentrating on what
I can get in Kokomo (where I live). I am able to get
these in digital format by photographing the obit
books at the library and then digitally cropping out
the ones for Miami and Cass Counties for the websites.
If someone has a good source for obits in Miami
County and would like to do the same or scan paper
obits that would be awesome!
One neat thing - our library has is a digital
microfilm reader/printer. I am able to get obits
digitally and don't have to make or pay for paper
copies. Yeah!
I do on occasion interlibrary loan newspaper microfilm
and go through and glean out all the obits digitally
for the websites. I think anyone could do this with
the right equipment.
