NEW AT ROOTSWEB

THE OBITUARY DAILY TIMES <http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary>;. Due
to overload on the system caused by the tremendous popularity of
this wonderful database (more than two million obituaries from
around the world indexed since it began four years ago), RootsWeb
has had to disable the normal search interface until the system
can be upgraded to handle the demand (maybe a week, but no
promises). However, RootsWeb staffer Randy Winch has created a
temporary interface (with fewer options) for use in the interim.
You can still visit the Web site to use the temporary interface
to search the database and learn how to become a contributor of
obituaries indexed from your local newspaper. Subscribe to the
