Newspapers can take us beyond dates and places to help us really know our ancestors. They tell stories about many aspects of their lives: birth announcements, marriages, obituaries, and funerals, but much more. Did your ancestor win an award? Did they attend a party with their friends or go for a sleigh ride? Was there a family reunion? Were they drafted or involved in a court case? Were they part of an historic event? These are just a few of the kinds of things you can find in newspaper articles. Join us to find out about places you can access old newspapers online and offline, including updates on new resources available.
