I am trying to find an obit on a good friend of mine that has passed. I don't have a credit card and from what I have found so far online is you have to pay. Anyone have any ideas?

Go to http://www.stephendanko.com, click on the "Email Steve" link on the right side of the page and send me an email with the details. I'll look up the obituary for you ast Ancestry.com and GenealogyBank.com, and if I find it, I'll email it back to you. You won't have to pay anything.

Find out the local newspaper his/her obit. was in originally. Usually you can look through the archives to find them at the website for the newspaper. I found my grandmother's on line for free and she passed 10 years ago this year.
Good luck and I'm sorry about your friend.

If you have a library card you can quite often access the library archives on line or by visiting the library; an important part of a libraries function is archiving newspapers, periodicals, documents of the times. Also, your county clerk would have the death records of deaths in that particular county.

Well, the only free information on obituaries that I am aware of would be from your local library. Just ask the librarian what you're looking for and they can direct you to their local newspaper section or they may have it on microfiche.

And, if not the library, you can request obituaries from local newspapers, usually at a nominal charge.

if your looking for an obituary from a newspaper then the library is your answer. It should be on microfiche

If you know the exact date, go to the library and look it up. They store archives of newspapers for years.

the in elementary words ones that are thoroughly loose are got here upon on-line from the interior sight paper. The decrease to this is that the truly previous obits does not be on-line. perhaps at an section library
