Découvrir la Famille dans les Journaux Locaux

Discovering Family in Local Newspapers

I have added some free newspaper resources in Quebec, Illinois, and Vermont to my Favorite Websites, in addition to updating other links.  My New Year's resolution for 2023 was to be more disciplined with my genealogy research so I could finish projects and share them with my living family!  The Quebec newspapers website is a bit challenging to navigate but so worth it after finding about 20 plus articles of my father's family in my grandmother's hometown newspaper in the 1950s.  The articles are mostly about the family visiting each other.  There was a picture of Dad as a teenager in the paper when he earned a scholarship.  Currently I am working on clipping the articles into a Word document, then typing them up in French and using Word's tools to help translate into English since my high school French is a bit rusty.
