The library in the area is your best bet. Failing that the records /archive office for the area. If you aren't local to the area then try googling for the library and send them an e-mail enquiring if they can search for you and send a photocopy of any articles they find. They might make a charge for the service, it depends how much info you can supply and how quickly they can locate the results. Glen
