Genealogy, Obituaries, and Family HistoriesObituaries from the past can be an important part of present day
genealogical research. Genealogy has become an increasingly common
pastime for many, and - of course - is greatly aided by the
Internet. Genealogy is one of the more common online searches. (Be
careful not to search for the misspelled
"geneology.") Searching the obituaries of our ancestors can lead not only to knowing the facts about their lives and something about their stories, but also the names of relatives, the place of interment, and more. Read closely - the names of mourners and pallbearers, for example, could provide new clues to family relationships. Writing more accurate and complete obituaries today will make searching for our family histories better in the future!
