Linda,

The three attached screenshot might help. That particular database contains no actual obituaries, it is just an index of where obituaries were published.

I would strongly disagree with the OP's statement that this database is useless

As to the site with the 50% discount... are you talking about Fold3? If so, that site is owned by Ancestry but run as a separate entity.
