Hello Everyone: As part of its St Andrew's Week celebrations the Scotsman Digital Archive is currently offering free access to its database for 1817 - 1876. The offer expires at midday on 7th December. You will have to register (free) to access the archive. In spite of its title The Scotsman does not seem to focus entirely on Scottish news. http://archive.scotsman.com/search.cfm Ann Hentschel, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.
