The guest book is usually turned over to the family Diane. And as I said, my strategy often works for me. I helped a lady in New Zealand find a family member who died in a tornado in LeMont, Il. The local librarian did not have the paper available but knew the lady who was killed. She gave me the funeral director's name and he sent me not only her obit, but a copy of the death certificate. I also once assisted an individual who had adopted a grave of one of our WWII boys interred overseas. She wanted a living descendent to know that she had "adopted" his grave & took care of it. Thru census records I found the soldiers sister's obit which contained the name of her son (and the funeral director) When I called the director and told him the name of the son, he said he would contact that individual because altho he wouldn't say so, that was the neme of the contact he had. The son's sister-in-law contacted me by e-mail and eventually the lady from the Netherlands and the son were in communication with each other. We might just be little people on God's green earth Diane, but what a difference we can make on someone else's day perhaps thousands of miles away. Dick
