Newspapers

I am just learning about the wealth of genealogical information newspapers can provide. An ancestry subscription will often have articles with your ancestor's name, and I've always known about the Library of Congress (LOC.gov). However, recently there are two more sites to fill my newspaper hunger. They are:

1.  NewspaperArchive at  http://newspaperarchive.com/  Just yesterday I subscribed to the 3 month special for $19.95.

2. Google newspapers at  http://news.google.com/newspapers#V was written about today by Brenda Silvey on facebook. She posted the information on the facebook site, Technology for Genealogists, started by Susan Petersen. There are a combination of both free and fee papers. The nice thing with this site is, you can put in the surname, and most likely, you'll get a lot of hits. Since I'm currently working on the SCRAMLIN line, the first hit was about the man I'm currently working on, and I found out he froze to death. After finding that, I went through about 50 other articles.

Below, keeping with the Scramlin surname, here are two articles about distant relatives who did some murdering during their lifetime.

William Scramlin killed his wife, Helen Annette Teach on Aug. 2, 1967.
