Message Board Post:
Was interested in seeing that you had access to some old obits from the Lafayette
newspaper. Did you just get this one page, or do you live locally where you could access
these on a regular basis?
Reason I ask is that I am an indexer for the Obit Daily Times (on rootsweb) and one of the
newspapers I index is the current newspaper for Lafayette (Journal Courier). Although I
love volunteering for them, the index mostly has obits from the late 1990s and onward. If
I had a way to add old editions of the Lafayette JournalCourier to my indexing, I'd do
it in a heartbeat. Only thing I lack is someone willing to obtain copies of the older
issues for me to index (I live in CA so if I can't access via internet, I can't
index it right now).
If you or anyone living near Lafayette would be able to help me get copies of older issues
(even as recent as the 1970s or 1980s), I'd love to add them to the stack I'm
indexing.
