The Best Historical Newspaper Sites
As an example, newspapers can be of special use when it comes to family notices. Column entries for Births, Marriages and Deaths ('hatched, matched and dispatched') may provide information not found in official certificates. If your married ancestors reached a significant wedding anniversary, for example Golden, there may be an article with photos.
