Barbara Freeman sent me this site. Looked around and found it quite
interesting & found a couple of family names. Have fun!


Newspaper Abstracts - where we are finding our ancestors in the news!

Over the years many records regarding our ancestors were lost or destroyed in
fires, floods and other natural disasters. Newspapers contain much
information that may not be found elsewhere such as births, marriages,
deaths, court notices, land sales, tax notices, businesses, etc. They hold
many glimpses of information in their community news and provide us with many
fascinating details about the lives of our ancestors from the businesses they
frequented to the hardships and triumphs they endured while building a new
life in a new land.

Newspaper abstracts came online October 1999 and since that time has grown to
over 2,100 pages and 100MB of data all of which has been contributed by
volunteers. This site contains abstracts, extracts and links to newspaper
articles across the United States published prior to 1923. More volunteers
are also needed in all geographic areas - no submissions are too small or too
large!

Good luck in your search,
