I added an obituary alert feature to Free Obituaries Found. You can now create alerts for a combination of subject name and place name so that the system can email you when a matching obituary is contributed or edited. It doesn’t send the emails yet (I’m working on that part), but you can still create, edit, and delete alerts. Create alerts so you don’t miss any obituaries!
P.S. There won’t be a video this week. My family moved last weekend and I haven’t located the box with my recording gear.

Ben,
As someone carrying out a one-name study (all instances of a given surname) I find this facility of little use. I would dearly love to be able to simply put in a surname and return all results for this name irrespective of forename or place.
This would be a great feature for all one-name researchers everywhere.
Regards
Keith

Hi, Keith. Thanks for that feedback. I’d like make the service as widely useful as possible so I’ll email you about the needs of one-name studies. —-Ben >@<
