    3. Fennidi, When I was investigating the newspaper URLS the other day (for our class assignment), I also checked Cyndi's Links to see what she had on newspapers and found some neat things. Last night when I went back to investigate a little further, I couldn't believe my eyes. Cyndi's site has a whole new look. An incredible change in just a few hours! Furthemore all the links appear to be working. I really don't know how she does it!! This letter may get longer because I just found another cool site. I was going to tell you about a neat article at Everton's that I skimmed over last night and thought you might like to read. However I just pressed on a link at Everton's and found the most wonderful link site. It may be even neater than the sites Marthe gave us. I have just been reading a newspaper published in my maternal ancestors hometown. i think I will put this one on the classroom BB. http://pppp.net/links/news/ The Ultimate Collection of News Links http://www.newslink.org/menu.html Air News Link http://www.everton.com/oe3-18/papers.htm This is where you can find the Everton's article on using newspapers to help with your research http://www.refdesk.com/paper.html Another newspaper site. And one more County Mayo newspaper for those of you with County Mayo Roots. (possum has no Mayo ancestors). http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/WPeople.htm This one has obituaries (modern ones of course, but it could be a good way to identify incidence of surnames etc.) Okay as promised this is my very last word on newspapers. However, you might want to look over Cyndi's newspaper links yourselves. There is a veritable treasure trove here: http://www.cyndislist.com/newspapr.htm Bye for Now possum aka Rigfennid
