John and Coleen, You can try the below link. Quite a few nation-wide newspapers have a website. Some will let you search there archives and copy the information free of charge. Most either do not have archives or they are charging a small fee for the information. Most of the archives only go back as far as 1990. <A HREF="http://www.newspapersol.com/usa.html">U.S. Newspapers and Online Media Guide</A> Good luck, Donna Thomas
