How to Search the Banner-Independent Obituary Archives

Searching the archives is simple and straightforward. Just type in the last name of a relative and hit the “Search” button. This is a good starting point for finding more about your family history.

For a more thorough search, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Start with your relative’s first and last names. If you know their middle name, add that too for better accuracy.
  • Step 2: Include a keyword, like a school or hometown, to narrow down your search.
  • Step 3: Exclude certain words to skip obituaries that aren’t about your family.
  • Step 4: Include a range of years, especially since records go back 150 years. This helps narrow down common names.

Tips to Improve Your Search:
