REQUESTING AN OBITUARY or RESEARCH

If you are in need of an obituary and are not in a great hurry for it, a volunteer from Genealogy Pit Stop will go to Carnegie Library and find it free of charge.

If you are in a hurry, the following is copied from the Carnegie Library at East Liverpool, OH website:

Carnegie Public Library Genealogy "Look-up" Service
Are you searching for your family tree, for your roots, or just looking for records of someone dear to you?

We Can Help!

If you are from out of the area and need assistance obtaining an obituary from our local newspaper or other resources, please email the Reference Department at refdept@oplin.org or send a letter to the Reference Department, Carnegie Public Library, 219 E. Fourth Street, East Liverpool, OH 43920.

Please make your request as specific as possible as it will be researched and processed for up to 30 minutes. Open-ended and "needle-in-the-haystack" requests are highly discouraged. Researchers seeking inquiry for such questions should consult a researcher for hire. There is a list of genealogists at the Board for Certification of Genealogists website.

We also have a subscription to Ancestry Library Edition available through library computers. Stop by to search for your family's information!
