This complete how-to guide will show you:
- How to harvest the “social media” of centuries past to learn about your ancestors and the times and places in which they lived.
- What you can find in online (and offline) historical newspapers from city
dailies to weekly community papers to foreign-language gazetteers.
- Tips and techniques for finding crucial genealogical records in newspapers, such as birth announcements, obituaries, and even news reports.
- Step-by-step guides for using popular online newspaper databases such as GenealogyBank.com and Newspapers.com.
