Notes on the Obituary Index
 
The Indian River Obituary Index has been compiled over several years and before this web-based searchable database became available.  We have adapted our data to work within the constraints of this database.  You will find the microfilm roll number listed as "Roll" under "Other information."   If an individual had information published on multiple days, there will be a separate entry for each day.
 
Please email us at genealogy@irclibrary.org  to report errors in the data.
