NEWSPAPERS ONLINE - Speaker Janice Sellers

There are millions of pages of newspapers accessable on the internet, but no one particular place to find them all.

Janice is a professional genealogist and has been on the staff of the Oakland FHC for 11 years. She will give us an overview of what is available and how to find it, and teach us some techniques to finding our ancestors in newspapers online. Useful information! We look forward to this meeting!
