I know that all of us miss information that is out there because we don't dig deep enough.

One recent success was finding a birth announcement for a baby that died young but we had no firm dates. Knowing that this area published births and deaths once a month, I followed up and browsed for several months to find his death information which included his exact death date and exact age. It wasn't coming up by searching so this was the key to finding it.Clorindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089250524407044322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-58375053791092565942018-11-11T22:51:28.897-08:002018-11-11T22:51:28.897-08:00Jo,

I have much better luck and find the search capabilities on the latter much easier. I have had very little luck at Chronicling America and some luck on the Fulton Postcard site. I’ve never tried the site you mentioned. Oh oh, one more place for me to look. <br />I hope my post give you better luck on Newspapers.com in the future. <br />Thanks for stopping by.

But maybe that’s because I find the search function at the latter much easier to use. Maybe if I could just figure out newspapers.com I’d find more.Jo Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566276500934815959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-10882714046228221482018-11-07T10:11:55.569-08:002018-11-07T10:11:55.569-08:00It sure does Elizabeth.

We get so eager to find information and it's hard to slow down and think outside the box or even remember what worked before.<br />Thanks for your comment.Diane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-58443794928437154932018-11-07T10:10:24.817-08:002018-11-07T10:10:24.817-08:00Marie - I agree with you on using this strategy on...Marie - I agree with you on using this strategy on Ancestry. We have to become very good problem solvers and hunters to get good results in our searches.

This really works. I've used this strategy before. It's also good to use this same strategy at Ancestry and search within specific databases instead of site-wide. I have found that during the 1920-1960 when my family appeared in the paper they were generally listed by their initials and surname. Were they conserving ink?
