Birmingham News--Alabama
« on: Friday 10 August 12 19:04 BST (UK) »
If anyone is able to access the Birmingham News for obituaries, please reply.  I am searching for about 8 obituaries from 1935 forward.

Thank you for your interest.

Am looking for the obits of the following people listed in the Birmingham News, Birmingham, AL.  I am searching for their burial place, in hopes of completing their family group sheets. 

Aaron Ginzler:  31 Aug 1939, pg 2
Mrs Lula Lee (Chesire) Ginzler:  16 Jul 1948, pg 23 and pg 30
Herman Ginzler:  16 Nov 1953, pg 24
J. D. Wohl:  7 Feb 1972, pg 29
Louis Wohl:  11 Aug 1947, pg 20
Mrs Ray (Regina Ginzler) Wohl:  7 Jan 1964, pg 13
                                          or 8 Jan 1964, pg 47

If anyone has access to this newspaper, I would greatly appreciate your help.  The number of obits needed make it prohibitive to request via the usual channels.

Thank you for your interest in this query,
Genealiza

They charge $5/obit--too much.  My local library only charges $1 for obit requests.

Since this is 5 years old, thought I'd bring it back up and see if anyone has access to the Birmingham News.

I know the Birmingham library sells the obits, but for $5 per obit.  I've checked Newspapers.com and Newspaper Archive, but they don't seem to carry Birmingham.

Here are the obits I'm interested in, along with their date of publication:

Aaron Ginzler:  31 Aug 1939, pg 2
Mrs Lula Lee (Chesire) Ginzler:  16 Jul 1948, pg 23 and pg 30
Herman Ginzler:  16 Nov 1953, pg 24
J. D. Wohl:  7 Feb 1972, pg 29
Louis Wohl:  11 Aug 1947, pg 20
Mrs Ray (Regina Ginzler) Wohl:  7 Jan 1964, pg 13
                                          or 8 Jan 1964, pg 47
