Newspapers: What Does it Say in Great Grandpa's Obit?
Was He a Bank Robber or a Hero?
Newspapers
carry national and local events, but newspapers also carry information about
births, marriages, deaths, funerals and obituaries, society events, missing
persons, shipping announcements and passenger lists, shipwrecks, petitions,
examination results, advertisements, trial records, court cases and inquests,
government notices, etc. To know
our ancestors better; the lives they lived, their hardships and triumphs; you
need to know their stories. You can often find details about the lives of your
ancestors in newspapers.
Two great sources:
1.
Historical Newspapers Online http://gethelp.library.upenn.edu/guides/hist/onlinenewspapers.html This table
provides a list of historical U.S. newspapers that are available online at no
cost.
2.
Newspaper on Microfilm
at the BYU-I FHC
There are many rolls of microfilm of
local historical newspapers that are in the BYU-Idaho Family History Center on
the second floor of the McKay Library.
Are any of these of interest to you?
Come to the FHC.
