Ryerson Index
As per their site:
*** 2,171,284 entries ***
*** 153 Newspapers ***
The Ryerson Index is an index to death notices appearing in current Australian newspapers. It also includes some funeral notices, probate notices and obituaries.
Because the Index was originally created by the Sydney Dead Persons Society, its strength lies in notices from NSW papers - including in excess of one million notices from the Sydney Morning Herald alone. However, the representation from papers from other states continues to grow, with additional papers being regularly added, so that the Index can now truly be considered an Australian index.
Indexing is being continuously carried out by a team of volunteers, too numerous to mention individually, who give freely of their time to ensure the site continues to grow. Site updates occur every couple of weeks, and more often in periods of high activity.
The index itself cannot by definition be considered a primary source of data, but is purely a research aid to direct the researcher to the original source of a notice.
As well as the main index, there is a supplementary index containing historical data which does not fit into the main index. This comprises RSVP notices from the Sydney Morning Herald for the period 13 Oct 1998 to 19 Jun 2005.

This is the original Looking 4 Kin. We need to make it known that we are in no way associated with the other Looking 4 Kin, nor it's owners or helpers. Please do not support the copy cat site, it is the lazy mans way to try and find success because they can't make it by their own means and need to rely on others hard work to succeed. What took years in the making of this site was copied, pasted and placed on the other site in a matter of days where they claim all of our hard work as Jim's and Rosey's Links on the main page of their site. I hope your actions allow you to hold your head high in pride jimgentracer and Rosey. Shame, Shame!! What a sad example for a genealogist to show the world.
