There's this one, too: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.*com/ ~dutillieul/ZWindsorEtonExpress/Police.html (remove *, and redundant 'return' stroke) There are actually three sections: police, soldiers and pubs. They have brief info about articles from 19th century naming names and places and events. Christine

If you put 'newspapers' into the thread-search, it comes up with a number of threads some of which are giving, rather than asking for, info. Christine

This site will give you a guide to the titles that are available: http://www.bl.uk/collections/newspapers.html Occasionally newspapers are indexed, but not very many of them. Local studies libraries usually have the best collections.

Hi can anyone tell me if there is a site for tracing old newspapers. One that you search for info on BMD or maybe find other things about your family. say 1910- now. Also the cost if there is one to search. Thanks shaz
