Taken from "Chapter 12: Research in Newspapers," The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy by James L. Newspapers are wonderful sources and should not be missed! In contrast, small country or community newspapers were concerned with local people and their immediate surroundings and are often rich in genealogical and historical information. While newspapers created in large cities were most often concerned with international, national, and state affairs they can contain valuable information about local individuals and should not be passed over. These types of details are not likely to appear on a marriage record at the local courthouse. For example, a newspaper account of a marriage might indicate that it took place at the home of the bride's parents, perhaps even naming them it might list the occupation of the groom, or indicate that the ceremony was part of a double wedding in which the bride's sister was also married. Additionally, because newspapers are unofficial sources, even when they merely supplement the public records, they can provide much incidental information that is simply not recorded anywhere else. Newspapers are not restricted to or bound by the regulations or forms used by more "official" sources. For example, an obituary may have appeared in a newspaper even when civil death records did not exist. Newspapers can also provide at least a partial substitute for nonexistent civil records. 17 By SCOTT CARPENTER RUTHERFORDTONBowen National Research has completed its housing analysis of the town of Rutherfordton, and ready to present the results.

Rutherford County, North Carolina's Trusted Information Leader News Housing analysis to be presented Aug. Newspapers record the day-to-day or even week-to-week happenings of local community events. Newspapers are intended for general readers, usually serve a geographic region, and may also be oriented toward a particular ethnic, cultural, social, or political group. They supply all sorts of clues about vital statistics (birth, marriage, and death announcements), obituaries, local news, biographical sketches, legal notices, immigration, migration, and shipping information and other historical items that place our ancestors in the context of the society in which they lived. Newspapers can be used to find valuable genealogical information about historical events in the lives of our ancestors. Check the local library or historical society in the area in which your ancestors lived for more information about other available newspapers.
