A variety of newspapers from Cass County, Illinois, are online at the Beardstown Houston Memorial Library.

Don’t forget to search Worldcat to locate libraries that have newspapers that could be helpful in your research–the papers probably won’t be online. Not all newspapers are available digitally with the click of a mouse or the swipe of a credit card.

Early registration for my webinar on “Problem-Solving with DNAPainter and GedMatch” ends on 20 November 2018. That’s to give people time to have their data uploaded to GedMatch and be processed. We’ll discuss using these two sites together to analyze, interpret, and make discoveries from their DNA matches. Join us. There’s more details in our announcement.

Thanks for your support of our offerings–they help us pay the bills. We appreciate all of our readers and thank them for being a part of our blog.
