[Genealib] Hayes Obit Index in Chicago

[Karen Miller]

I'd love to find out more about how your index was set
up, Becky.  I'm especially intrigued by the shopping
cart idea.  I'll be at the conference all week. 
Perhaps we can meet for lunch on one of the days you
are there?  I live in Wilmette so I'll be at the
conference only during the day.

We have an online index for our local paper, but can't
seem to get Google to find it. Is your index
discoverable by the standard search engines?
