Why You Should Search for Addresses in Newspapers

11/24/2018

2 Comments

 
Picture
For anyone who reads articles on this website you know that I am addicted to searching for my ancestors in newspapers. Hence my creation of the Newspapers! Page on this site, over 28,300 free newspaper links on the Newspaper Links Page, as well as about a hundred or so articles about researching old newspapers. Not to mention a Facebook Group focused on "Genealogy and Newspapers." And despite over a decade of searching, there is always something new to learn. 
​
Thanks to reader Diane a few years ago, she made me aware of a technique that I was embarrassed to say that I hadn't previously thought of. Maybe I have had too much success doing surname and full name searches and other techniques, I don't know.

From Diane:

" I wanted to share something that I have found helpful. I was recently trying to confirm the accuracy of an article I found in a newspaper regarding the death of two brothers in WWI. I noticed that early newspaper articles included the address of people, such as John Doe of 123 Main St.  When I ran out of results to view in my name searches, I decided to put in the address as a keyword. Bingo... I received hits that didn't come back in my name search (even though the name was in the article). It isn't foolproof of course as our ancestors moved around. You have to be sure the article is referring to YOUR ancestor living at 123 Main St. and not someone else. If I don't know the address, I check census records or city directories. It's just another tool in my newspaper arsenal.  And, by the way, I was able to prove that the newspaper article (about the WWI deaths) was wrong.  

You first have to make sure you're searching in the right paper. More than one city has a Main Street or Broadway, etc.  In my specific example, there is a 546 Bryant in San Francisco and Chicago... I needed to make sure I was getting results for the Denver area."


In DIane's example, she was using Genealogy Bank, but the same techniques can be used in most newspaper search engines by just encasing the search term (in this case the address) in quotes in the search box.

So, search for addresses as well as names and you might be surprised at what you find. I've tried this technique with a few positive results!

And thanks to Diane - this old dog (me) indeed learned new tricks!

180 Obituary and Obituary Index Links from Canada

11/21/2018

5 Comments

 
Picture
One of the main goals for genealogists in searching historic newspapers is to find obituaries.  Obituaries are a gold mine of information. They provide death dates and locations, funeral and cemetery information and sometimes mote importantly - information about the relatives of the deceased's family and extended family.  This family name information is often not found anywhere else.
​​
During November, 2018 I have been updating the links to online obituary and obituary index collections that are available to search for free. There are a total of 180 online database links that I have found for Canada. Of these, 53 have been added since the previous update. 

So not only can we search old newspapers for these gems, we sometimes can get transcriptions and  clippings and also get directed to the location of the obituaries from obituary indexes. 

Here are alternative means to newspaper searching to find obituary information, listed by the link to each province's list of free links. Please be aware that if you find a desired obituary in an index, that the holder of the actual obituary (e.g., library or genealogical society) may charge a small fee to send you a copy of the obituary itself.

If you follow this website at all, you know that I from time to time update the free online historical newspapers that are available for you to search. I originally posted the New York Online Historical Newspapers Summary in February, 2014, and have added many updates, the latest in August, 2018. The largest collection for the state is Old Fulton New York Postcards which has significant updates once or twice a year. I usually write an article alerting you to those updates as they are published.

The 
NY State Historic Newspapers site is not as well known as Old Fulton Postcards, but is adding and updating titles at a very rapid rate and has just hit 8.1 million pages available.

All of the counties in the state are represented. It is brought to you by the
 Northern New York Library Network in partnership with the Empire State Library Network. You should take advantage of this resource and check back often.

Here are the latest added and updated newspapers included in their August, 2018 update.  You can search them at NY State Historic Newspapers.
