    3. All,    I often find the fultonhistory site a bit frustrating as well and often will scan the individual pages without having to enter the exact string.pdf into the FH search box.  Here is the link for indexed years of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on Fulton History: http://fultonhistory.com/my%20photo%20albums/All%20Newspapers/Brooklyn%20NY%20Daily%20Eagle/index.html Select your year, and go from there.  Not all pages are in chronological order, but generally speaking, a great way to look at an entire issue.  Use the UP arrow at the top of the page to return to the entire index of all newspapers indexed on FH.  I have found this to be not only very helpful, but less stressful.   No search box jut each individual page, sheet by sheet. Hope that helps.

And, the database at the only Daily Eagle site I've found ends at 1902, NOT after then, as implied in my erroneous original post. Again, I apologize for my crossed wires.

When the long long list appeared, I left-clicked my pointer at the top of the list (on open space, not on the first entry), typed control+F (that's the "find" instruction in my system), entered "1923" in the find box, hit "go" or "enter," and it worked.  I hope it works for you. Also, I saw that "Index" was one of the items on the results list.  I went to that item and saw that it had the page numbers for what I think were all "personal notice" sections in that issue, and one of them was "divorce." I didn't find the specific divorce notice I want, so I'll have to resort to searching the 1923 Bklyn Standard Union films I ordered through ILL. Knowing to look for an issue's index as the first step should make finding the divorce-notice section easier for me as I search the films (assuming the Standard Union also published an index for each issue) Pat in Texas ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
