I looked this item up in Ancestry, and it linked to a citation: EVANS, Rosemarie (GOMES); 93; ; SF Chronicle (CA); 1998-9-15; bjw
This is an obituary index, and it seems that her obit appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Sept 15, 1998. The newspaper's online index at Legacy.com only goes back as far as 2005, which is why you couldn't get it to come up Then I googled, "How do I get back issues of the San Francisco chronicle" and got some info at http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/faq.shtml#faq10 : The newspaper says it is possible to get back issues; here is the edited information . You might want to call the number and see what other options may be available to get a copy of that obituary. Maybe a library out there has microfilmed images, and would do a lookup and send you a copy. Good luck! <<Where can I get back issues? There are three ways to get back issues: In person at The San Francisco Chronicle, by mail, & by Federal Express. There is a charge. Address: 901 Mission Street, San Francisco (corner of Fifth Street) Hours: Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM Only the past thirty (30) days are available in person. For papers older than 30 days, please call our back copy desk to check for availability (415) 777-6833.>> Eileen -----Original Message----- From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Nivea Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 8:24 AM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Rosemarie (Gomes) Evans Obituary Hi Linda, Publishing an obituary in any newspaper is not mandatory... my mother did not want my father's published when he passed away 2 yrs ago... Along with that, the newspapers charge you a small fortune... it might be that her obituary was not published... Just throwing in my 2 cents...
