This week's topic was online newspapers. Annie suggested several steps to facilitate researching for our ancestors in historical newspapers.
1. Use Chronicling America to locate all possible published newspapers and determine where to find them.
2. Use Chronicling America to find the digitized newspapers available on that website.
3. Access Ancestor Hunt, Wikipedia, Old Fulton New York Postcards and state archives to find other newspaper locations.
4. Look for U. S. or Canada Newspapers on the FamilySearch Wiki.
5. Visit state archives or local libraries to read microfilm of those papers not digitized.
