Newspaper Obituaries are a rich source of information for family historians.

For many of our ancestors (and relatives), the obituary is the only "biographical sketch" that was ever devoted to that individual.

An obituary often identifies relationships of the deceased as child, sibling, parent, grandparent, etc., to numerous other individuals. Obituaries may even suggest other documentation of an individual's death - a death certificate in another county because the hospital was located there; church or cemetery records (by identifying the place of burial or the officiating minister); or records of a coroner's inquest because the death was sudden or unexpected.

The aim of this site is to provide you with access to the many databases of archived obituaries available on the internet. Currently, this site gives access to over 6 million free obituaries on the web. This site is divided up state by state and is a collection of free newspaper obituaries and death notices in the United States.
