Online Records Sources
It must be noted that all the links to the Zanesville Times Recorder obits no longer work due to the paper's web site changes and desire to charge for these obits. The link remains only to take you to the Times Recorder page to search for the obit yourself.
Starting January 2004, I am going to be moving all User Submitted Obituaries to the Muskingum Message Boards on Rootsweb/Ancestry.com. This will cut down on the number of places to look for records because all posts to the boards are also sent to the mailing list and I also post the links on the Muskingum County OHGenWeb pages. They can be searched from the list archives, the Board Search utility or by searching the Muskingum OHGenWeb site. This gives the submitted records the largest audience and cuts down on the number of places a person would have to look. Searching any of these sources should find the same obits. If you have any question on how to submit to the Message Boards, see the FAQ on the Muskingum County Message Boards at:
FAQ: Posting Messages on the Muskingum County, Ohio Genconnect/Message Boards
You may also consider submitting to the OHGenWeb Archives.

The fist phase of a project that took the better part of three months is now complete. I have gone through Doug Kreis' book, "The Adamsville Register Obituaries 1889-1935" and completely re-wrote the index as there were many duplicate obituaries and many not included in the index. I have also added a Maiden Name index that did not exist before. While this index is not a replacement for seeing the actual obituary, it will make finding your ancestor somewhat easier. If you can find them in the index or someone who looks like them, it may be worthwhile to purchase the obituary book for yourself or ask someone for a lookup. (Denny Shirer © 1997 - 2007)
