There are several database tables available on-line. In time we hope to have most or all available to you on this web site. For the best results, browse a table such as OBITS looking for names that may be in your research project. Remember, each table is only an index. Behind each entry is much more information. When you find a likely name, contact us by e-mail. Tell us which list you found the name in, provide other information if you have it to help us determine if the subject is actually who you hope it is. We will reply by e-mail and give you an estimate of costs for the material we have. Fees for copies are posted at the beginning of each Index along with other tips and details. Happy hunting!
