Hi

Does anyone know whether there is a website which shows obituaries?

Many thanks

Hello Middy - it depends what part of the world and when.

Do you have a specific one you're looking for?

Hi MarieCeleste

I am looking for a lot really - some are a mystery and not sure of exacts dates when they died, but was hoping to get some information from any obituaries that I could find.

Thanks

And that after 1969, the actual DOB is recorded?

Bear in mind that only a tiny percentage of deaths will have been announced in the Press
