    1. [QC-ETANGLO] Newpapers that Served Megantic Co.
    2. John Hendrikson
    3. I am trying to find the origins of two brothers who settled in Leeds, Megantic, Co. ca. 1839. Joseph McHarg died 1887 and David McHarg died 1877. Does anyone know of newpapers that might have served Leeds during this period of time -- specifically, I am hoping to find an obit. for one or both of the brothers that might contain information about where they came from in Northern Ireland. I have copies of some newpaper notices from the Leeds area -- one is a list of church members who indicate they will not support a particular church while the pastor is in charge -- this article is dated 1902 and happens to include an obit for James Thompson. I am hoping to find a similar obit for either David or Joseph -- I realize the odds are probably better of finding this info for Joseph because of his later death date. Any info on newspapers in the 1877 -- 1887 timeframe and where to look for them would be appreciated.
