Hello, Does anyone know if the Pro Quest newspaper collections from 1865 -1899 are online yet? I know it says on SFGENEALOGY.COM : That SF Chronicle from 1900-1922 is online from SF Public Library and that they will be adding the 1865 -1899 in Aug. 2008. I've tried through my libraries and even LA Library and can't accesses it (they don't have it for some reason). I was wondering if anyone who does have access could look two things or even one item up. I REALLY have been trying to search for a marriage license or marriage announcement for two sisters. They both were married just turn of the century so it's hard to look through the online newspapers online because nothing goes just before 1900. I would be SO grateful to have this info as they are the last two siblings that might hold more clues to there parents!!! Annie McLaughlin to William E. Dean married approx. 1898 (SF or Berkley) (Her first child was born March 1899) So maybe they were married around May or June??? Olive McLaughlin to John Kraft approx 1899/1900 (I know she is listed in the 1900 Census as single but I have searched the Library of Congress online that goes from 1900-1910 and never found anything. I was hoping maybe another database may have them listed at least getting a marriage license in SF. (Keep in mind there is another Olive McLaughlin who tried to murder her husband John McLaughlin - strange because that was our Olive's fathers name) Yikes! I would REALLY appreciate ANY help on these two sisters ( I have written to many Catholic Churches in SF with no results on these two). Thanks, Cathie

I'm looking at the image of page 3 of the 1/31/1900 SF Cron from the SFPL site on Proquest. When you click on databases, don't use the first SF Chron line, scroll down to the one that reads: ProQuest Historical Newspapers The San Francisco Chronicle (1865-1922) FYI - the Chron has two drawings of the principles in the Kentucky governor's race & discusses the assassination attempt. One is the same as that in the Call, the other is different. It works fine.

Proquest has a number of online historical newspaper databases -- L.A. Times, Boston Globe, Atlanta Constitution, San Francisco Chronicle, Wall Street Journal. Not every library subscribes to all of them. LAPL subscribes only to the L.A. Times. USC subscribes to the entire collection. It has the San Francisco Chronicle, 1865-1922.
