Pat, Ruth Browning has published abstracts for the Aurora Advertiser from the earliest surviving issue, 20 Mar 1908 through 23 May 1918 in four volumes and also, one for 1969-70 and one for 1972. I think some more recent years have been abstracted by the local DAR chapter. These are abstracts, not the entire articles. Which grandmother? Ross >>> [email protected] 05/07/03 03:55PM >>> Ross, Is there an abstract for Aurora Advertiser for more current dates...e.g. the 1930s and 40s? Or any other more current than 1916? I'd love to get copies of my grandmother who died 1916, my grandfather in about 1960, my ggrandparents and other relatives that I want on my genealogy tree.
