Today's Challenge
We all love newspapers when we research our ancestors. They provide a lot of useful information but sometimes they are not the easiest to find online. Today we will take a look at Ancestor Hunt’s links to online newspaper collections and select Ohio Online Historical Newspapers link to begin your hunt (https://www.theancestorhunt.com/newspaper-research-links.html).
Hints
Explore the page beyond the newspapers to discover BMD records, yearbooks, and many more types of records that may help your research.
Question #1. How many newspaper titles are included in the Coldwater Public Library’s collection (Mercer County)?
Question #2. What is the name of the East Technical High School newspaper in Cleveland?
Question #3. Use the link to visit the Coldwater Public Library’s collection. Search for the death notice for Bernard Westerheide in 1932. What was his wife’s name?
Question #4. Return to the Ancestor Hunt website and select the East Technical High School’s newspaper. What library houses this collection?
Question #5. Does the Ancestor Hunt blog include links to newspapers outside the US?
Bonus Question (optional). On the September 23, 1926 edition of the East Technical High School’s paper, what was the name of the dazed student who was baffled by the clue on the civics test?
Comments. What did you think of this task? Was it too easy? Too difficult? Just right? Did you have fun exploring the Ancestor Hunt website?
