HI all
I came across this site that might be of use to someone.
https://www.smalltownnewspaper.com/smalltownpapers/jsp/stphome.jsp
it is free to register and you can search by keyword (surname, whole name, place, etc). It is quite easy to use and you get to see the whole newspaper page with your keywords highlighted to make it easy to read. There are many newspapers from many States in this newspaper archive.
Good luck
Thelma

Sounds like this would be a good site for research. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work tonight.

Still not working today for me ...
Message I get is "problem with the site security certificate. Please close and do not use this site". I have no idea what the above means.

Hi yn9man
What it's saying is that the site uses a security certificate to encode its data for transmission but the expiry date for the certificate is past. (Oct 2006)
I must admit that I always ignore these warnings and continue anyway - my browser (Firefox) certainly doesn't suggest that you close the window, nor does IE6. Suggests to me one of Microsoft's increasing overstatements, but it's up to you whether you think an expired security certificate (when most sites, including my own, don't have one in the first place) is sufficient grounds to avoid a site
Regards
Angela

Yes, it is working for me now, and I did get that message - from IE7. Just ignored it and opened anyway. It is Microsoft going over the top again, I think.

I just got the same message again. I tried to bypass but couldn't. Must be my computer.

Here is another newspaper link from the Library of Congress. Short time period but may be helpful. I found the NY Sun very helpful.
