Remember that the site is arranged PRIMARILY around the Eighty Township Pages, and they all link from the sidebar at the right of the page. Subject areas link both from the sidebar at the left and from the icons below. My mail tells me that many long time site guests are very unaware of many of its special features. Open every window so you don't miss any.

August  2005 Statistics

Use the Drop Down Window to search selected areas of site for Obituaries and other slected information

These represent directories in the site's structure. Clipping section includes scrapbooks of obituaries, marriages, gossip, etc. It also includes new obits where the cemetery is not identified. The Obit by cemetery pages are by county BUT obits may be on an obit by cemetery page OR in the Clipping - scrapbook section. Check both. Also remember that people are often buried in a different county than the one in which they lived or died. Another point to be aware of is that some of the very small cemeteries that have few obits will have the obits on the cemetery listing page. They will be missed by this partitioned search of just the obituary directories. They will show up on the search which covers the entire site or the burials.
If you do not click the drop down list, you will think this is just the same form of the search engine we have had for several years. It is NOT - It is a major enhancement of its utility which I will develop further depending on positive feedback I do or do not get. At this point it partitions the obituaries and cemetery listings only. While obits are added daily, the search engine in not reindexed that frequently. Added obituaries will only register when the search engine is reindexed.

This first version allows searches just for burials and obituaries

Site Search by PicoSearch


Below  is an expanded version of the above with even more categories to narrow your search to individual sections of the site - It will be accurate as soon as I index the PICO again. Note this allows you to search individual directories of the site. if related information is in a different directory, this search will not find it - example - If military information is included in the family directory, it will not be found searching the military directory. Some pages that are older have not been relocated to the appropriate directories yet, so not finding an item where you expect does not mean it is not on the site.

If you do not take the time to press the drop down list, you will not have a clue how this works. Here is the gift. It is up to you to use it. Don't assume this is just the same old PICO we have had for several years. The number of Thank you notes I have received incdicates that fewer than 1% of my guests have even looked at this or recognized its value.

This Second Version includes above sudivisions and several additional to narrow your ability to search by category.
