Why use newspapers?
Newspapers may focus on a small community or the world, a nation, or a state. They may serve a general audience or a particular ethnic, religious, racial, or political group.
Newspapers report family information within notices of births, marriages, and deaths (obituaries), and local news.
- Newspapers usually began before government birth, marriage, and death records, often published soon after the initial settlement of a locality.
- Newspapers may serve as a substitute for civil records that were destroyed.
- Unlike most government records, newspaper articles are not limited to a form. Thus, newspapers may contain details not found in more structured records.
- Newspapers can report marriages, deaths or accomplishments of people who no longer live in the area but who still have friends or family there.
