Lynn,
When you go to Archives, there's a line right at the top that says for stories prior
to Oct. 26, 2001, click here. That takes you to
www.library.tribstar.com .
Be sure to choose Obits from the Library Source Block. It also helps to read the Help
section. It will explain many ways of searching. For instance, searching for John^Smith
will only return stories (obits) where John and Smith appear together. and leaving the
date off, will return all obits from 1996 to Oct 2001 where the two names appear together.
This includes occurences where John Smith was a survivor. That's a great way of
finding relatives and, I hate to say, I've located classmates that way when I was
trying to find people for a reunion. I found at least two people that way; my classmate
was listed as surviving son or daughter.
BUT I've double checked and the earliest obits are May 1996. Pam was right, since you
have the date, the best way is to email the library.
