Sometimes the spelling of a names and places can change over the years. Sometimes an ancestor might have used an nickname, or their name was spelled incorrectly by the person enumerating the census. In addition, sometimes names and locations are transcribed incorrectly in a record set.
Newspapers are an incredible resource when tracing your family tree as they reveal the daily lives of our ancestors. Local newspapers (like those found on findmypast) include more than just announcements of births, marriages, and deaths. Local articles include visitors to and from town, legal detailing the settling of estates and land sales, and advertisements.
Local newspapers also provide a glimpse at major national – and local events, through the eyes of the community. The role and story of significant events, such as the Civil War, World War I, or tragic events of the devastating world-wide flu epidemic of 1917-1919 are reported through a local lens, allowing you to further understand an ancestor's place within their local community.
