Program Description

Event Details

Newspapers can provide a wealth of information for family research. Obituaries and marriage announcements are just the tip of the iceberg. You can also learn about major events and their day-to-day lives that helped shape where they lived and what they did. In this presentation by Susan Fabian we'll discuss where to find newspapers online, the types of articles to look for, and search terms that will provide the best results. A number of examples will be given showing how newspaper articles provided clues for additional research. Register online.
