To request a copy of an obituary, please email the department at genealogyrequest@brazil.lib.in.us with a detailed request. Obituaries are emailed as a BMP or PDF file (please state which you prefer in your request). If you send a request using a gmail email address, you may wish to include an alternate email address for a response, as our provider and gmail don’t always work well together for some reason.
Do to staffing, the library is not able to do lengthy or in-depth searches. If you require such, you may either contact the Clay County Genealogy Library at https://www.ccgsilib.org/ with a request. Thank you.
Here are a lists of some of the items at the Brazil Public Library that may help you with your family history research. (Files will open in a new tab)
