I came across an ambitious work—alphabetical lists of names from newspaper obituaries, and thought i should post it here. There is a note saying, “The following information was acquired from index cards prepared and microfilmed by the Hawaii State Archives. The following information is subject to human error. Indexing was of full obituaries only, not death notices.”
And they further state that, “All are incomplete, till I find more time to work on them.” I totally understand how that goes…
I think that these sorts of listings are important, as it allows you to browse when you aren’t exactly sure of who you are looking for, and maybe that would draw connections you never would have imagined.
One of my dream lists would be one master list, of births, deaths, and marriages, along with which newspaper and issue (and page) that information came from!
nupepa 
Wow! thanks for the link. This is the hardest thing for museums- people trying to find their families. We just aren’t set up for them. This site is perfect.

There are so many projects that would be worthwhile doing! There needs to be someplace that keeps an account of who is doing what, and what are things that should be done, so that work is not done twice. There needs to be a place to host these documents while they are being done and after they are complete. There needs to be accountability of the information… &c., &c., &c.
Where to begin…
