Using Digital Newspapers to Add to your Family History Story

November 14, 2024 at 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm CST

Free

Irene Walters, Librarian at Houston Public Library’s Family History Research Center (remote speaker) will showcase how to use digital newspapers to enhance your family research.

You’ve got the facts of your family history from census, land, tax, probate, and other records. Now, it’s time to add some text to the family stories using the newspaper. Use this talk to find out about digital newspapers: how to find them, what to search for in them, and how to search for your relatives in them.

Irene Walters bio
Irene B. Walters came to Houston Public Library’s Family History Research Center at the Clayton Library Campus from Buffalo, NY in 1997. As well as helping researchers at the library, Irene gives talks on many aspects of genealogical research. Irene’s own genealogy research has taken her lines back into France, Ireland, and Germany. Like all families some ancestors are being more difficult.
