How to Search Citrus County Chronicle Obituary Archives

Searching through the obituary archives is straightforward, whether you're just beginning to explore your roots or you're adding details to a family tree you already have:

Simply enter the last name of that relative and click on the “Search” button to begin.

For a more advanced search, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Enter the first, middle, and last names to get more precise results.
• Step 2: Include a keyword, like a school or town, to narrow down your results.
• Step 3: Exclude certain keywords to filter out unrelated entries.
• Step 4: Adding a range of years can be useful since many people have the same name.
• Step 5: Change how the results are sorted—by best matches, newest, or oldest.

Here are some strategies to help you find the right information:

• Begin with recent relatives, then work your way back to older ones.
• Try searching by initials, as older obituaries often used them instead of full names.
• If you're looking for information about a female relative, try searching under their married name.
• Consider common misspellings, as names weren't always spelled correctly in older records.
