Kathy,

Go to

http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/

and you can get into the UK library and by counties
see what newspapers are available to purchase or
borrow via interlibrary loan.

I will keep you note and look for a blip in the paper
later.

Most of the time there are not obits as they cost
money like advertisements - but the community listings
our neighbors usually notes via a blurb a death and
sometimes funeral and burial plans.

I need to know what community to look under ie,
Tolesboro, Quicks Run, Browns, Concord, etc. to be
able to find it, I also need an exact date of death as
with that, I look through at least a month of pages.

I will be publishing through the summer, obits, and
"gretna green happenings" and community notes,
regarding Maysville, and Vanceburg and surrounding
communities such as Aberdeen, Ohio. I have also
purchased a couple of reels of Greenup County
Newspapers and will publish items of interest from
them to the Lewis County Newspaper List.
