    1. [BKLYN] CORRECTION: searching Daily Eagle archive results list
    2. My apologies. Information in my post was incorrect. I was describing what I did at the www.fultonhistory.com site, NOT at the online Daily Eagle site. And my control+F finding term was Baldwin, NOT 1923. 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. Pat ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [BKLYN] searching Daily Eagle archive results list From: [email protected] Date: Sun, April 22, 2012 4:31 pm To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I want to find a 1923 divorce notice in one of the Bklyn papers. At the online Eagle site, I entered "divorce" as my search term and hit "enter." 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
