Gossip, Gore, and Glory: How North Carolina Newspapers Can Bring Your Family History to Life

Newspapers have been in circulation in the United States since the beginning and can provide rich genealogical and historical information about your family members and their associates. Today’s technology makes it easier than ever to find and analyze these records, supplying details that can enrich your family stories. This class will focus on newspaper research in North Carolina and how it can fill in gaps that may occur in traditional documentary research.
