To search thoroughly for obituaries from past newspaper editions, the best approach is to use a variety of tools including Ancestry's Obituary Collection, Ancestry's Historical Newspapers collection, and offline research through local libraries and newspaper offices. But, if they still had connections with the home community, there is a good chance that an obituary will appear there, perhaps a more detailed one than will be found in the community of death, where that person was just a new or temporary resident. Many people in their later years go to live with children and often die far from where they spent most of their adult lives. Also, when considering possible obituary sources don't just check in the community where the individual died - also check the community (or communities) where the individual lived. Many cities have more than one paper and an obituary for a specific individual could appear in more than one place. It is impossible to know beforehand which, if any, paper is going to have the best or fullest obituary. In an obituary search, it is necessary to investigate the files of all likely newspapers. And, of course, the wealth of detail in an informative obituary may open up many research avenues.
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. In addition to names, dates, and places of birth, marriage, and death, the obituary often identifies relationships of the deceased as child, sibling, parent, grandparent, etc., to numerous other individuals. For many of our ancestors (and relatives), the obituary is the only "biographical sketch" that was ever devoted to that individual.
The wealth of genealogical and biographical information to be found in an informative obituary certainly makes the effort of searching for one worthwhile. As the internet is a changing medium, links may stop working over time. Where available we include the original URL link to the source information. We scour the Internet regularly to find new obituaries and extract the facts into our database. The collection contains recent obituaries from hundreds of newspapers.
