Jackie >Newspaper Abstracts - where we are finding our ancestors in the news! > >Over the years many records regarding our ancestors were lost or destroyed in >fires, floods and other natural disasters. Newspapers contain much >information that may not be found elsewhere such as births, marriages, >deaths, court notices, land sales, tax notices, businesses, etc. They hold >many glimpses of information in their community news and provide us with many >fascinating details about the lives of our ancestors from the businesses they >frequented to the hardships and triumphs they endured while building a new >life in a new land. > >Newspaper abstracts came online October 1999 and since that time has grown to >over 2,100 pages and 100MB of data all of which has been contributed by >volunteers. This site contains abstracts, extracts and links to newspaper >articles across the United States published prior to 1923. More volunteers >are also needed in all geographic areas - no submissions are too small or too >large! > >Visit us at: >http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/ >to see how we are finding our ancestors in the news! > >Good luck in your search, >Barbara Freeman
