News Paper Archives
« on: Thursday 20 August 20 15:07 BST (UK) »
Hello - I'm very new hear and only just starting out on my journey.

I am trying to find information about my biological father.  I was adopted, and have discovered my biological father died in a car accident soon after my biological mother became pregnant with me.  Apparently it was front page in the local news paper (Bristol Evening post, UK).  I have his  death certificate but don't know how to try and find the newspaper archive.  Sounds ghoulish but my recently traced biological mother doesn't have any details, or doesn't want to tell me.  Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mit
