These are obituaries I found while working on the vital statistics index for the Loveland Public Library or while doing lookups for Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. I will continue to add more as I find them. They are not necessarily all of the obituaries of Germans from Russia that were published in the newspaper during the time period - I may have missed some, and there is another volunteer, so there are months that I didn't work on. The volunteers are now working on the gap in the index for the years 1967-1975, so there is definitely more to come. I have no connection to these individuals unless I have noted that by a specific obituary and I have no additional information.
