Read All About Them! Learning About Your Family Through Newspaper Articles

April 20, 2022 7:30 pm

Taught by Dr. Dolores Fidishun

Newspapers are a wealth of information about our families. They tell stories about our ancestors’ lives: birth announcements, marriages, obituaries, and funerals, but much more. Did your ancestor win an award, 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 things you can find in newspaper articles. Join us to find out about places you can access old newspapers online and offline, a number of which are free.
