How to Search the Daily Comet Obituary Archives

Simply enter the last name of the relative you're researching and hit the “Search” button.

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 for more precise results.
  • Add keywords related to places like schools or towns to narrow 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 tips to help you search more effectively:

  • Start with the ones from your most recent relatives and trace back to the older ones.
  • Consider browsing by the person’s initials as many of the older records still exist in that format.
  • If you want to learn something about a female relative, the best search can be under her husband's surname.
  • Try different spellings of names since older records often contain typos.
