Hi there,

So I am wondering how I should go about finding my father's obituary. I have heard that my step-witch, I mean, step-mother made a few mistakes in its printing. I want to know. If so, what should I do? Just let it be?

Do you know what paper it was printed in? Most obituaries are put in newspapers that represent the town where the deceased lived most recently as well as the town where he was born.

If this was a recent event, check the websites of the newspapers where you think it might have run. If you can not find it, then contact the offices of those papers. They will have it on file.

I don't know what paper it was in. It was 8 years ago. I've already tried that and googling every combination of his name and the word "obituary".

Sorry, I don't know what else you can do. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you.

I found the Funeral announcement, but not the actual obituary. I found the paper that it was published in, too. If that helps.

It's on that page.
