April 2, 2026 - Working on a redesign of the website to clean up years of different content managers cluttering up the code. Started with cleaning up the obituaries. I have restructured everything to make it searchable. You can sort alphabetically or by decade. Filter by year range. You can filter and see which profiles have Wikitree, Find A Grave, or Newspapers.com links. The data was extracted and converted with scripts along with some hand editing. Still working on cleaning it all up so there might be some issues like the source line being part of the obituary body. I am getting to it.

I am eventually going to convert other pages to the newer cleaner more maintainable design. Let me know if you have feedback on the design or if something is not working. Send design feedback
