Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shortest obituary ever?
The “shortest obituary ever” is a bit of an urban legend! There’s no definitively the shortest, but incredibly concise notices, sometimes just a name and dates, are common. Some might even be a single line, depending on the publication’s style and the family’s wishes.
Where can I find German obituaries?
To find German obituaries, start with online portals like “Traueranzeigen” (funeral announcements) or specific newspaper websites (e.g., Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). Genealogy websites often have German records too. If you know the person’s city, search for the local newspaper’s online archive.
How do I find a 40-year-old obituary?
Finding obituaries from 40 years ago usually involves searching newspaper archives. Many libraries have physical or digital archives of local newspapers. Online genealogy websites like Ancestry.com or Newspapers.com can also be helpful, though access may require a subscription. Remember to try different variations of the person’s name in your search.
