THE OBITUARY DAILY TIMES . 
Due to overload on the system caused by the tremendous popularity of this
wonderful database (more than two million obituaries from around the world
indexed since it began four years ago), RootsWeb has had to disable the normal
search interface until the system can be upgraded to handle the demand (maybe a
week, but no promises). However, RootsWeb staffer Randy Winch has created a
temporary interface (with fewer options) for use in the interim. You can still
visit the Web site to use the temporary interface to search the database and
learn how to become a contributor of obituaries indexed from your local
newspaper. Subscribe to the mailing list by sending your SUBSCRIBE message to:
