Westlake Message From the President of the Board Dear Friends and Colleagues: Legal Aid Society provides a helping hand to those who need it most – low-income citizens who cannot afford professional legal help and have nowhere to turn. When they receive the help they need, when they learn that there is justice out there for everyone, then the entire community benefits. America was founded on the ideal that everyone should be treated equally under the law. And while it is still possible to find examples of justice best serving those who can afford to pay for it, Legal Aid proves that the ideals which are fundamental to a fair and just society do, indeed, exist in our nation today.

  • Obituary "J" Index
    Obituary "J" Index Copyright © 2004 - 2021 GRHS DISCLAIMER: GRHS cannot guarantee that should you purchase a copy of what you would expect to be an obituary from its obituary collection that you will receive an obituary per se. The obituary collection consists of such items as a) personal cards of information shared with GRHS by researchers, b) www.findagrave.com extractions, c) funeral home cards, d) newspaper death notices, and e) obituaries extracted from newspapers and other publications as well as funeral home web sites. Some obituaries are translations of obituaries published in German publications, although generally GRHS has copies of the German versions. These German versions would have to be ordered separately for they are kept in a separate file in the GRHS library. The list of names and dates contained herein is an alphabetical listing [by surname and given name] of the obituaries held at the Society's headquarters for the letter combination indicated. Each name is followed by the birth date in the first column and death date in the second. Dates may be extrapolated or provided from another source. Important note about UMLAUTS: Surnames in this index have been entered by our volunteers exactly as they appear in each obituary but the use of characters with umlauts in obits has been found to be inconsistant. For example the surname Büchele may be entered as Buchele or Bahmüller as Bahmueller. This is important because surnames with umlauted characters are placed in alphabetic order after regular characters so if you are just scrolling down this sorted list you may find the surname you are looking for in an unexpected place (i.e.
