    THis service seem like it really could be a great service. I found lots of obituaries from larger cities hours away though. Not really relivant to my town. But with wirk this could be a great site.

    Sarah´s last blog post..CHOCOLATE WINNER!

    I checked out my hometown on the xtra xtra website. I found mostly obituary and military announcements.

  6. Stephanie

    The concept of this site is great. I checked on obituaries out of state where I grew up and have family. However, they have nothing posted from the area. Hopefully, they can expand the newspapers that they pull information from.

    I checked out the website and it wasnt bad…nothing interesting or new…just wedding and anniversary announments and like 2 or 3 annocments on soldiers graduating basic training…it was easy to navigate..it has potention.

    Just added you to my reader last week…love your blog! Thanks for keeping us updated with such great deals!

    I enjoyed looking through at xtraxtra. I felt like it was organized well and I liked having information from the area. I wish that somehow you could narrow your area. I had information from across the state and would like to just have information from my regional area if its possible.

    xtraxtra.com seems like it is going to be a great resource to stay up to date with our area milestones. Looks like a lot of the local papers are covered for my area which is nice. Looking forward to using in the future.

    I enjoy it because if you lived in a different area where most of your family is, you can check up on things. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
