Obit Links provides a targeted genealogical website for Pennsylvania, as it does for all other states.
Obitlinkspage.com was created to provide an easy to access State-by-State directory of obituaries and obituaries related resources. This site is focused on obituaries, their importance in genealogy, and finding vital records such as birth certificates, death records, divorce decrees, and marriage licenses.The Pennsylvania Department of Education's State Library itself provides links for "
Finding obituaries can be difficult and we have developed this free site to help you find the obituaries, death records, birth certificates, and marriage records you will need.
Because you should start at the city and state of the interested person when looking for obituaries and other vital records, this site is designed as a State-by-State Directory. * * *
Such information can be the basis for a personal genealogical history, says Obit Links on its home page: "Obituaries are more than just death notices; they are a great way to research genealogical information about your ancestors."
Consumers curious about their ancestors (for purposes of history, health, or just plain fun), and professionals researching a decedent's "family tree," should find these resources helpful.
If you are interested in a more "up close and personal" experience in genealogy, attend the upcoming Second Annual Genealogy Day in PA from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm on Saturday, September 20, 2008. For reservations, contact Marc Bender at the State Library (717-705-6272, or marbender@state.pa.us).
