Janice M. Sellars will be presenting Using Online Newspapers for Genealogy Research. Newspapers are valuable in genealogical research because you can find information about births, deaths, marriages, moves, business, naturalizations, court cases, and more. Millions of pages of the world's newspapers are now accessible online, but there is no one place to find them all. This class will give an overview of what is available and how to find it, and teach you some techniques to help you find your ancestors in the paper.
