A few have said that the Thames Advertiser has the same as the Thames Star
1000% nooooooooo
I have set up a double search just with the two papers and the different reporting is incredible
Things about my GGGrandfather for instance and Forest ranger meeting, mine accidents etc
But today I am full on finding new school pupils, the reporting for the schools is totally new

PS. Hope the other regional papers are equally impressed :)
I am having problems with the Waikato Times 13 April 1878.
There is a letter to the editor on page two titled "The Boy Francis Brown". I can get the computer-generated text but not the article which comes up as question marks and highlighting with no text.

WOW ! Well-done, to your ex-colleague. :) A "very cool list" indeed ... and most helpful. :)
Thanks for sharing it with us PapersPast. :)

I thought you'd been a bit quiet, PapersPast. :)
Congratulations to you and the PapersPast team from all of us, and I hope you enjoy the cake. 8)

and possibly some more from Taranaki and the Waikato.
Tail idly flicking with mild impatience, no doubt... ;D ;D :P

I just saw that there are some new additions!
Hi Papers Past,
Thanks very much for the update. The site is definitely faster, congratulations. ;D

Not sure if anyone has asked this before, but is the Rangitkei Advocate likely to appear online at any stage.
Ian C
Yes we would like to see the Rangitikei Advocate added.
It is mainly the early issues pre 1900 that I am personally interested in, but there are probably others who have research in the Rangitikei district that would be happy to see any of it. It had a wide distribution area and had some things printed that would not necessarily show up in other local papers.
Many thanks
Ian C
:) Thanks Papers Past - we all appreciate your efforts. I know I have asked previously, but I get asked a number of times (volunteer at a Central Otago museum) when the Dunstan Times will be on PP?
I think if PP combine their excellent search engine with BNA's result screen format it would be the best thing since chocolate.
I did not know that! Thank you very much, now PP is perfect. That's even better than what BNA does, as its computer generated text often resembles gobbledy-gook.Quote from: SpudKiwiI think if PP combine their excellent search engine with BNA's result screen format it would be the best thing since chocolate.
Hello...
Not sure if you've seen it but the "Show preview images" option, found on the "Refine Search" page, gives something similar to which you describe.
Just tick the box.

Is there a way of refining the search results to show only certain things, like they do on Trove, and the British newspapers.
EG if you only want BMDs to show, not all the adverts and other results.
Trove has it as 'Public Notices' I think and BNA 'People'
Thanks

Can I add a suggestion? My searches usually involve all papers for a region. I know you can select multiple papers by using CTRL-Click, but the list of papers is getting longer making this task a wee bit more tricky than it should be. Have you given thought to a "search all papers for this region" option once you've selected "by region" from the home page?
Woo Hoo, the one I have patiently been waiting for is here ..... thank you for the work behind the scenes. :D
Cheers

...I would like to note three recent discoveries made on Papers Past which have advanced the knowledge of my family....
It has two question marks. People might get confused... ;) ;)
