I have spent the last few days working on re-vamping the news clipping section and most likely will spend much of the weekend with it.
The intent is to take many of the sections such as community news that have many entries and break them into pages according to the various newspapers of the day.
Additionally I am moving the newsclippings around so that when they appear on the pages they are in chronological order. I don't have ALL the clippings of all newspapers, of course, however the ones I have are listed in order.
In doing this, it results in the new additions being added as not necessarily at the top of the page as before. When directed to a page for a clipping, please scroll down the pages looking for the "new" symbol for the new entries.
********************
Although they may not appear to the the "essence" of research-- News Clippings are an invaluable tool to use to view the lives of our ancestors in their day to day lives. The comings and goings, the visiting, the business transactions- all these made our ancestors who they were.
I strongly urge that everyone take the time to read the newsclippings that are posted. They ALL contain many, many county surnames. Far too many for me to index, so for your own benefit please check them.
