I hope that some of these are what you have been waiting for!

If you are like me, you have used Facebook in the past to try and connect with potential 2nd, 3rd or once/twice removed cousins.  You get the idea.

In the old days you could send a message to a person that you were not connected with and they would get the message in their email inbox.


That changed a few years ago as Facebook created an "Other" inbox with your message, for messages from folks that you had no connection with.

Sounded good initially but everyone (including me) hated it because no one checked their "Other" box and there were no notifications to alert you.

Fortunately Facebook has seen the error of their ways and are changing the process.

As this Article suggests, you will now get a Message Request in Messenger that you can choose to reply to or ignore.

Thus, possible cousins that want to connect with you or vice versa will now have something with an alert so you know that a message is there for you to look at.

This will help all of us once again to use Facebook to try and connect with our possible cousins.

Yay!

Thanks Facebook - better late than never.

Visit the Newspapers! Page for many more details, tricks, tutorials, webinars and articles intended to allow you to become a master newspaper researcher!

Thanks to reader Larry Parker from Fullerton, California, we have 221 new newspaper collection links from 28 different U.S. states for you to take a look at and search. This represents about 2,000 historical newspapers. Larry regularly conducts research into new links from libraries and other entities from around the country who have hired the Advantage Preservation company to scan and host their historical newspapers and other documents. 

Some of these free links are already included in the newspaper research articles that have previously been published (see the list of states in the Newspapers! page on this site.).

Larry has uncovered many many more, which are presented below (by state and county).

Check these out, and for many more free links to historic newspapers, go to the Newspapers! page on this - The Ancestor Hunt site.

​About a year ago I wrote an article about a free historical newspaper site entitled Small Town Papers. At that time there were about 200 newspapers available for browsing and searching.

The list has now expanded to well over 300 titles. 


​


Please be aware that the dates for these titles include both current years as well as past years, and some of the titles do not have what I would call historic dates, that is prior to at least 1980. Some do however represent years from far earlier, some as early as 1846, so it is worth your time to see what might be available for you in order to found articles about your ancestors.

I would encourage you to make Small Town Papers part of your newspaper research repertoire. I also encourage you strongly to read their Terms of Use as they are quite strict when compared to other free newspapers sites. Copying and downloading of pages found have specific rules and limitations. Always read about copyright and use "rules" on any newspaper site.

Here is a list by state.  There are just a few states that have no entries.
