AbstractCincinnati Freie Presse was a newspaper published in German from 1874 until 1964 for German speaking immigrants of Cincinnati. Death notices are very useful to family researchers, and often give additional information. This major new compilation contains the name, date of death (if published) and date of notice, age of person, the newspaper page on which the notice was printed, maiden names for married women, and the city of birth, if mentioned. This index contains the names of over 38,000 people who died between 1874 and 1920. Both the original German spelling of a name, and its English equivalent are given when available.Words frequently found in death notices are given in a list in both English and German.
