Listers: In your experience, what is the best websites to locate obituaries in newspapers? I am willing to pay but not for something that is not up to par. Carol J. Hansen hansencj2010@gmail.com 218-329-6979
Chronicling America. Pick a state, any state, and see what they have available for newspapers, locations, time periods. Web site is free and you can link back to the article(s). https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ In Minnesota this is duplicated by the Minnesota Historical Society who partnered with the Library of Congress' Chronicling America; again, all free, able to link back to the article(s). http://www.mnhs.org/collections/projects/ndnp.php A friend (and fellow genealogist) likes fee-based Newspapers.org and has found useful things on the site (including some items for me based on names searches), but I can't vouch for the site, just that it was useful in name searches one day. If you have specific newspapers and locations in mind and know they have the papers that are not available elsewhere, perhaps a one-time short subscription? That's up to you. Good Luck!

As far as paid sites go, l I've used Newspapers.com, Genealogy Bank, NewspaperArchive, and the 19th Century Newspapers database available through NEHGS. Whether paying for any of them is worth it really depends and where you are looking and the time periods that you are looking for. I think all of them provide free access to the lists of which papers they have. Family History Centers have Newspaper Archive, and I think most local libraries have access to at least one newspaper database. And I think some even let you access them from home with a library card. Personally, I have given up on paying for any (except I have an NEHGS membership). I first try the free databases online, then visit the FHC and local libraries (I happen to have easy access to two different counties with different "library systems") if I haven't found anything in the free sites.

That depends a lot on where who you are looking for lived. Aftenposten are more Oslo and surrounding areas If people lived west or norh it would be totally differen newspapers. If you use the forums you might get people to look them up for youi, Like Dis forum or Digitalarkivet's forum. Also some of the Facebook groups have people with access to different newspapers.
