Elizabeth,
These lists are for us genealogists to help eachother out. I dont know as
if anyone routinely does look ups on the list, but many people help whenever
they can.
I for one, live fairly close to the Library of Lansing, which houses many
many newspapers on microfilm. I dont go as often as I used to, but try to
get there once a month.
I dont do research for others, but I will look up and copy obituaries for
others if I have the following information; Name, date of death, and
location (at least the closest major city) of death.
Also, may people will go to cemeteries and take photos or get info from
stones if they live near there, so it never hurts to ask.......
I will be going to the library tomorrow (Monday) so if you would like to
email me your info, I can look it up for you.
I will open that up to anyone on the list for look ups, but I need the info
by noon (EST) on Monday.
If someone doesnt have date or location of death, you can try looking it up
on the the Social Security Death Index, which can be looked at for free on
Rootsweb.

I am wondering if you routinely do obit look ups and what information you
have to have in order to proceed. If there is a fee would you be so kind
as to let me know what it is? Thank you. You provide invaluable services
to those of us thousands of miles away.
I will be inquiring about Alton and Eupha (nee' Stearns) McNutt of
Augusta,Michigan (and Hastings, Michigan at some point). I can give you a
marriage date and possibly Eupha's birthdate, and year of her death, but
Alton is much more difficult to pin down. I do know which cemetery Eupha
is buried in (Augusta, Michigan.) I am assuming (correctly or not) that
these obits would most likely be in the Kalamazoo papers, but they could
possibly be listed in the Battle Creek Enquirer and News. If you have
access, I would also like the obits of:
Mary Cecilia (nee' Allen) McNutt, died Marshall, Michigan, August 7, 1988.
Born December 1, 1907, Baltimore, Maryland.
Emil Wicks McNutt, died Battle Creek, Michigan, August 14, 1971. Born
February 26, 1893, Augusta, Michigan.
Please let me know if I am using MIGEN inappropriately.
Thank you, Elizabeth McNutt Allen, Helena, Montana.
