The Osterlin Library located in Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan has a computerized online index to the Traverse City Record-Eagle (our local Northern Michigan newspaper) and its predecessors dating back to 1858. If you are fortunate to find an ancestor thru this index you can request a copy for 10 cents per page plus $3.00 postage and handling. Online information and access to Traverse City Record-Eagle Newspaper Index is available at: http://www.nmc.edu/~library/res/record-eagle.html However, you must have a telnet application installed on your computer to connect to the Record Eagle index. They recommend the freeware program Tera Term which can be downloaded directly from the Tera Term home page at: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html After I downloaded this I did have to tweek the configuration because windows wasn't too compatible with it. So If anyone does download it and has a problem I can forward the directions I used to configure it. Another new online search tool for marriage and death records for our part of Northern Michigan was put online by the Grand Traverse County and the Traverse Area District Library which can be found at: http://www.tcnet.org/gtcounty/index.html Happy Hunting! :) Anita ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anita (nee: Merlo) Gauld Anita_Gauld@Hotmail.Com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have over 30,000 individuals in my database.
