I'm posting current-day obituaries on one GenWeb site from the county
newspaper. I wrote for permission and they called me back immediately to
grant it. Just requested that I post the newspaper name somewhere (no
problem!)

Robin,
Ask the newspaper in question about posting newer obits. I've never been
turned down when I asked permission and offered to link to their site (if
available). Just make sure to save any response from them so you have
"proof" they gave you permission.
