    XtraXtra is a very easy website to move around in. I like that fact that it is so simple.

    I like this, it looks like it will be a quick & easy way to find information on various towns. Does it pull births, milestones, engagements, etc from the local news sources listed on the right? I didn’t find an “explanation” of the site which might be expected on the umbrella page. It would help me understand what I am looking at a little quicker, but I got it within a few minutes.

    I love the idea! There are a lot of listings in my area too. The navagation is really easy but I think the site itself is a little too simple/bland. I do like it though and will definitely be joining!

    I’m assuming that they get the information from local newspapers? It’s hard to tell. I like that the entries are clickable to their original articles.

    The site was pretty cool. Easy to navigate and interesting. It mostly found obits which was a little depressing, but it was really thorough.

    I searched for the area where I grew up. There were only military service milestones and obituaries. I wasn’t familiar with any of the service men/women, but I did know several people in the obituaries section. I married and moved away 35 years ago, so this is pretty much the only way to really keep up with people over the miles. The write-ups were touching and brought to mind many good memories of my youth.
