And that's a great tip to search British Newspaper Archives and look at FMP. I'll try that. Thanks again.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-58378181452353721702018-06-11T12:36:02.318-04:002018-06-11T12:36:02.318-04:00Great tip Nancy.

Living in the country we only got the morning one delivered, but I know there was an evening edition. <br />I often browse at FMP newspapers because names aren’t always clear for searching. Another thing I do is search on British Newspaper Archives (without subscription) and when I get a promising hit I look for the same newspaper issue at FMP.

I love looking at and reading old newspapers and imagining my ancestors living during that time with the local and world events that were happening around them. <br /><br />I haven't used Find My Past for a while. I find it difficult to use, especially if I want to browse a record set instead of search it. There's probably a way to browse but I haven't found it. I should use the website more, since I've been researching ancestors in England.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-16259805631119631452018-06-06T22:27:45.678-04:002018-06-06T22:27:45.678-04:00You're welcome, Linda.

I wonder how news was relayed decades ago, before the immediacy of the internet. It's possible that the international news arrived during the night and early morning, with more as the day progressed so the evening newspapers would have had more content.

I know some newspaper publishers published several different newspapers with different names but it's possible that in your city, they were the same newspaper but with different names.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-78519152788422856052018-06-05T14:26:10.618-04:002018-06-05T14:26:10.618-04:00Thank you for this tip.

I use the Newspaper archive on www.findmypast.co.uk - great for both local and family history.

Now that I think about it, I always liked reading the evening edition of the San Jose News when I was growing up, because the stories seemed more robust.Linda Huesca Tullyhttp://www.manybranchesonetree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-54203814247719217232018-06-04T20:15:30.890-04:002018-06-04T20:15:30.890-04:00Good tips, Nancy, thanks!

The morning edition was the Virginian Pilot; the afternoon edition was the Ledgar-Star.Liz Gauffreauhttp://genealogylizgauffreau.comnoreply@blogger.com
