Lots of new ideas for searches for ancestor information in newspapers in ways I had not thought about.
Great tips!
another excellent presentation. I am going to access my heritage site for newspapers on my ancestors.
An excellent review of newspaper research
This was a very interesting and informative webinar. Lots of good tips and easy to understand.
Great webinar! Lots of information I can use immediately to help find ancestors. Thank you!
James Beidler's presentations are always solid. I particularly enjoyed the example of the young men bicycling from Pennsylvania to Illinois to work, and later writing home from Illinois. We often hear about traveling from the old country to America, but miss details of how and why people got around once they arrived.
Excellent!
