How to Search The Journal Obituary Archives

Start by entering your relative’s last name and clicking the “Search” button—this is a great first step in learning more about your family history.

For a more detailed search:

  • Step 1: Start with the first and last names of your relatives. Adding a middle name can help narrow your results.
  • Step 2: Include keywords like a town or school to make your search more specific.
  • Step 3: Exclude certain words to keep unrelated results out.
  • Step 4: Set a range of years to help sort through common names in our records.
  • Step 5: Change how you sort the results to see the best matches, newest, or oldest entries first.

Tips for a Successful Search:

  • Use details from more recent family members to trace older ones.
  • Try searching by initials, as many older obituaries used initials instead of full names.
  • If you’re looking for information about a female relative, try searching under her husband’s name.
  • Consider common misspellings, as spellings weren’t always checked in the past.
