Thanks to all who replied to my first question. It looks like Patrick A. Johnston was probably a Marine in WWII. Now can anyone advise me about writing the Marines and trying to learn more about him? Am I likely to get anywhere wiith such a small amout of information (born in Ireland, corporal in WWII)? The name, unfortunately, is too common for the SSDI. Thanks much for any leads! Diane

Two questions for those of you who know something about the military. A friend in Ireland sent me a newpaper clipping about a likely relative of mine who visited relatives in Ireland in 1945. The clipping refers to him as a corporal in the US Navy. Did/does the Navy have corporals (I'd never heard of that before)? Assuming he's deceased by now, is there a government department I could contact to try to learn where he died? His name is fairly common so I can't pick him out of the SSDI. Thanks for any tips!

Does anyone have access to Chicago city directory of the 1890-1900 time frame? I am looking for some relatives in the 1900 census and can't seem to find them there. I am looking for Stanley, Frank, or John Sobiechowski/Sobechowski (and maybe some other possibilities). Actually, anyone with those surnames during that timeframe should be related.

If you have access to Ancestry.com, you have the Newspaper Archive papers available. As with most databases, these do not include all newspapers or all times you would like them. If you would like to have access to old newspapers from around the country, look for the U. S. Newspaper Project pages from the state you are interested in on the Internet. This ongoing project is making many papers available for research on microfilm, some can be interlibrary loaned for little or no charge from the repository. For some large papers, ProQuest is digitizing the historical papers and making them available for lease to libraries. These now include the Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Atlanta Constitution. They are fairly expensive and not all libraries will purchase access to them.

I subscribe to the Godfrey Library for $35/year as I recall and I have access to Newspaper Archive through that. I found a ton of stuff related to my family in Akron, OH even though all the OH papers they had didn't include Akron. I also found much stuff in their CA papers. It would obviously be most useful if the have papers in the locals you are searching in and your ancestors did things that were noted in the papers.
