Newspapers have been used to record information around the world since the 17th century and the importance of newspapers in genealogical research should not be underestimated. They have long been a trusted source for familial obits or birth announcements, but did you know there is so much more you can learn from them? For many genealogy researchers, newspapers are virtually an untapped treasure trove of genealogical information just waiting to be discovered!
Join us on Tuesday evening, March 13th at 7pm at the Tennessee Genealogical Society as Joe Burns presents a very informative lecture on how to find success with historical newspapers and learn the art of gleaning important genealogical information from the archives of newsprint.
