NEW!        NEW!        NEW!

SEARCH the contents of all obituaries and news accounts of the deaths of African-Americans who died in the Oberlin area between 1863 and 1939. Then give us your suggestions to improve this beta-version site before we make it available to the general public. Just click on this link:

 The OAAGHG Obituaries Project

To return to this OAAGHG Home Page when you are finished browsing the Obituaries, just click on the "Back" button (left arrow) in your browser.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this is the "beta" version of the Obituaries site, be aware that some links on the site may be non-functioning, confusing, or take you to unexpected places. For example, do not attempt to "log in" at the site. We very much hope you will let us know what you think of the "ease of use" of the site. Please give us SPECIFIC suggestions not only about changes that would make it easier to find, view and save the information you want, but the features you find most helpful and want to see preserved.

Thanks!

The Membership and Board of the OAAGHG.
