As an aficionado of newspaper research for genealogy and family history, I have done a lot of searching. Most recently it has been of the online variety.

One can be quite successful in spite of the limitations of poor quality source material, scanning deficiencies and OCR limitations.

The best results are usually because of good planning, rather than simple surname searching and hoping. Here are a few tips and techniques that you can employ to find that elusive ancestor article that you may have been trying to find. 

​I GUARANTEE that if you employ these techniques and tips while searching online, that you will find many more pertinent articles about your ancestors.
