What about UNC? (unidentified newspaper clipping), which no doubt would have
appeared in the local newspaper where the person lived and the approximate
date -- soon after the person died.
If reasonably recent you can do a Google search and find the name of
newspaper, date, and obituary itself. Most cities have only one or two
newspapers and maintain obituary archives.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Where to Enter Obits?
Richard,
I use the Obituary event and have changed the default Event Definition for
If Desc, Date and Place are empty to the following:
[HisHer] obituary was published in an unknown newspaper [Sources] [cr]

Hi LUG'ies!
Just curious--where do most of you enter the actual text of an obituary?
Should the obituary text be entered under a person's Events, cite the
Source, then in the Source Details window, do most of you enter the obit
under the Text tab?
Further, I have this nice person in my family who sends me tons of
obituaries (what a blessing!)of family members, many of whom I am
unfamiliar. It's great to get the obits, but she doesn't include any of the
source infomation: eg. newspaper name, published date, page, column.
How would you enter this obituary information? Create an "Unknown" source,
or create an "Obituary-on-File" source, then enter the obit in the Source
Details window?
Just wanna know what most of you do in these situations.
Thanks for the input!
Richard Heckman
