Most papers run the obits on a daily basis. If you miss one day which your
relative was
in that issue then the only way is to contact that paper for a copy.

| Tammy, if these are recent obituaries, have you tried contacting

| that can help you or refer you to a genealogist in the area. It usually
| isn't as easy as just getting a copy of the paper and photocopying the
| obit. If there's no index and the date of death is not known, it can
| take hours of combing through old papers or microfilm to find
| obituaries (or anything else).

| Good luck (and thanks for not SHOUTING)
