How To Search for Obituaries in The Sentinel-Record
Simply enter the last name of the relative you're researching and hit the "Search" button. This is a great first step in your journey to uncover more about your elusive ancestors.
If you need more detailed information on a specific family member, follow these steps to perform an advanced search:
- Start by entering both the first and last names of your relative. Include a middle name if you know it for more precise results.
- Add keywords related to places like schools or towns to narrow down your results.
- Exclude certain words to filter out results that aren't related to your family.
- Specify a range of years. With records going back nearly 150 years, this can help you avoid mixing up different people with the same name.
- Sort your results in different ways—by the best matches, newest entries, or oldest entries—to see what comes up first.
Here are some strategies to help you find the right information:
- Start with the ones from your most recent relatives and trace back to the older ones.
- Consider a browse by the initials: many of the older records still exist in that format.
- If you want to learn something about a married woman relative, the best search is under her husband's surname.
- Try different spellings of names since older records often contain typos.
