Some of us (perhaps many of us) subscribe to the Lower-Delmarva board using the digest mode. There's been a lot of conversation lately, which is great, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to pick out messages of interest. First, many of the messages don't have a "subject" that matches the content. There have been quite a few messages labeled "Merry Christmas" that are really discussions about specific surnames. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hits the "delete" button based on what's in the subject line. Second, previous messages are being left attached, and these are accumulating. It's probably OK to attach the message you are answering, but some of the recent messages have as many as 7 or 8 attached messages. Those of us using the digest mode have to scroll through a lot of "stuff" to find the new messages. The scrolling isn't difficult, but all the extra attached m! essages makes it easy to miss the new messages. Thanks for taking the time to read this . just trying to help.

Vera, <connection to the 3 VA brothers.>  I must have missed a message about the three VA brothers.  Although I have little information on the Hursts, the name early on is indeed Hust and I think you are having trouble tracking them because they moved from one water community to another.  At one point Joseph Hurst (d Dorch 1726) , son of John Hurst, the first of the line in Somerset County, lived on South Marsh Island in Kedges Straits, which apparently was disputed whether in Somerset or Dorchester County.  I have found that many folks who lived on Bay islands were quite mobile, so you have to be open to the ones for whom you are looking to go anywhere on the Chesapeake Bay.  ________________________________ From: Vera Hurst <vjh2938@gmail.com> To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 10:49 AM Subject: Re: [LDR] Merry Christmas Ha, Elizabeth..funny...and thanks Andrew for that....I KNOW the Hursts were on the eastern shore...my problem is finding them before 1800 and then who they were related to.  My brother just is not getting the hint that he should do a DNA test...gad.  That would actually help as it would prove or disprove the connection to the 3 VA brothers...I cannot find a connection.

Mike, Your memory of lack of listed subscription rates for newspaperarchive.com rings right. I think when I first signed up with the service, they had some kind of special going on, but I ended up going back and forth (via email) with them a bit. I’m foggy on the circumstances, but they were having some promotion and I thought that they maybe weren’t going to honor the stated rate. I think they actually then provided the membership below the rate I expected, and so I was happy with that. Someone indicated that the newspaper access on newspaperarchive.com and ancestry.com is essentially identical. I don’t know why this would be the case – newspaperarchive.com’s coverage as listed (but not as provided as I found out) is impressive, but in no way “complete.” Perhaps the comment pertained just to Delmarva area newspapers. The newspaperarchive.com rates I was paying were certainly modest compared with ancestry.com and as I mentioned before, I was happy with them so long as the “hits” on family members I was getting translated into actual access. After they finally responded to my many inquiries, I would have rather that they had kept me “on” instead of cancelling my membership (and refunding a fair amount) – I was most upset with the silence. I guess I was too much trouble for them. I also wish that the failure of their system was limited to one newspaper that I just happened to be getting family hits on, but, unfortunately, their failure was popping up in a number of situations. Someone else brought up the Library of Congress on-line archives. This might be the Library’s “Chronicling America” series. This series is great and has been very helpful, too, but the inventory is limited to newspaper issues dated from the mid-1920s and before (because of copyright concerns), and tends to be limited to somewhat larger newspapers. Even within those parameters, the coverage is somewhat limited. However, the system works, there is no access fee, and I’ve been lucky to find a few far flung family members popping up some.

I want to get a 6 month subscription to both to tie up loose ends on things I may have missed the first time around. Last nite I googled newspaperarchive.com & found a site with several complaints concerning the newspaper site. The complaints concerned me about them not answering inquiries or cancelling subscriptions! Only workaround I can think of is to pay with a credit card I dont use much. When cancel time comes, call the credit card company & request a new account number. Specifying that Ive misolaced my card & fear that account could be compromised!! Then they cant tack on another subscription term with me. Eva, they sent me an email invitation, but you can go to their home page on ancestry.com & they have it advertised there. If you cant find it, send me your email & I will forward the email I received to you.

On Ancestry.com, I find only the following years for the Salisbury Times: 1913 (only 9 days), 1941-45, 1953-64, and 1975. Many of the years available are incomplete, e.g., 1941 has only 15 days of December representing the entire year. 1942, 43 and 45 have 6 months available but again, only a limited number of days in each month are online.

On Maryland's Eastern Shore they both have the Denton Journal (1870-1965), and the Salisbury Times (1929-1975), and the Salisbury Daily Times (1964-1977). If you have www.ancestry.com, you do not need www.newspaperarchive.com. I like www.genealogybank.com because it has more newspapers and can be searched more easily. It has the early Easton newspapers, the Chestertown newspaper and quite a number from Baltimore. The Maryland Archives also has newspapers online. http://www.aomol.net/megafile/msa/speccol/sc4800/sc4872/html/newspapers.html They are free, but the site does not have OCR search capability. Paper of Record also has some newspapers. But the site has not been maintained. You may still be able to get a free a account to search a few newspapers. They have a very limited selection from Cambridge and have part of a Baltimore paper.
