AFGS has been collecting obituaries since 1978. We currently have nearly 200 volumes with 500 pages in each volume. These obituaries are received from all over the country and are a valuable asset. Hard copies can be found in the library and they will also appear in the Members Only section. Each volume has an index. Every five volumes have a separate index. Finally, every fifty volumes has an index. Many of the obituaries have pictures as well as helpful information.
