I want to find the funeral notice for Else Blum which would have
appeared in the Norddeutsche Rundschau, a newspaper publishe in
Itzehoe in Schleswig Holstein in Germany. The funeral notice would
have appeared sometime after December 21, 2002. The funeral notice
does not have to be translated as my husband is German.

I found a web site for the newspaper's publisher, Verlagshaus Itzehoe,
but it doesn't appear to have a searchable archives to find the actual
obituary online. However, I don't read German, so I may have missed
something. You should be able to contact the newspaper by phone or
email and request a copy.

Here's the contact info.:
