Newspapers, one of the most comprehensive places for genealogy resources, are an often overlooked resource that can corroborate information found in other records, such as marriage and birth records. They can also give insight into people’s day-to-day lives, containing information that isn’t necessarily available in government or church records. Learn the basics on how to find and use these great genealogical resources. Handouts will be provided with a list of resources.
