Legacy is not producing a webinar this week. Looking ahead, next week's presentation is called "Using Newspapers to Reconnect with the Stories of Your Family's Past."
Newspapers are a valuable resource for information about your ancestors, particularly if they lived in a small town. Most small towns published a weekly paper where you may find obituaries, birth and marriage announcements, as well as stories about the town itself. I've also found that many of the local farmers stopped in to visit with the editor during their weekly trip to town, providing news about their families.
