Hi: This is a great newspaper abstract site. There are no AR papers extracted yet but try your surnames or locations and see what you might get. If you have a common name with too many "hits" try a combination of words. IE: to find Smith in Santa Clara County, CA - type in "Smith Santa Clara" and every abstract with those three words will be found. This site is at: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/usa.html I found an article from 1827 from one of my ancestor's towns. He was not named but it gave me a good idea of what was going on in the town at the time he was there. I typed it into his notes. Regards, Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com
