People that are interested in genealogy and family history research have all become familiar with the fact that now certain scientific evidence for ancestors and certain other relatives may be proven through the use of Genealogy DNA testing. By studying the Y-chomosome of males and the mtDNA chromosomes in both males and females certain evidence becomes incontrovertible.
We as publishers of this blog at www.Old-Newspaper-Articles.com are also genealogists, so it seems only right that we use the resources of our primary sponsor to go and look up information on the early reporting of DNA studies in the archived newspaper database that we promote with pride.

For some, a newspaper database sounds a little strange. How could you form a database out of a stack of old newspapers? Thanks to the digitization of the newsprint some years back, the formation of a database is now possible.
At first, the databases that were being established were quite small. It was not for a lack of material, just a lack of digitized material. What has helped to propel the movement to scan and post old newspapers on the internet and enter them in databases is the need to preserve them.

The war newspaper articles have been written ever since the publishing of news began. This is because of the part of human nature to be interested in the unfortunate pain and suffering of others. The second leading interest of people is when they are involved in a just cause that is part of causing pain and suffering to an enemy, which is what war is.

The reason to look at old death notices varies from person to person. One fact does remain the same and that is they are historical records of people that have lived and died.
Since the end of the Civil War, obituaries have included a more detailed account of a person’s life and death. This has transpired into a historical record of a person’s life. In some cases, it is the only written document of their life.

When you have a research project you will find that historical newspapers are the most helpful resource. you must consider that anything in the past is history and the lists of events that are considered to stand out are dependent on who is asking the question.
Everyone in the world remembers the moon landing, the end of WW I, WWII, and the Vietnam War, along with the death of Elvis and John Lennon. History has always unfolded before the public and was recorded in the newspapers. This can be relived in every edition ever published.

There are numerous news paper articles about Hitler going back in time, most of them starting from 1930s, and onwards. In these reports were the signs of what was to unfold on history’s doorstep. An ominous sign was reported by the Appleton Post-Crescent on April 17, 1931.
Hidden behind the headlines, on page 29, was an article out of Munich, Germany titled “Hitler’s Protographs in Demand in Germany”. Yes, the misspelling of photograph was printed.
With old newspaper articals, the past does more than come alive. It brings back a spring in the step of those that were there. This is when the story that is being read leads the reader to be reminded of other related events that occurred at the same time in our elders’ lives. For many grandfathers, this is the time when they would break out a story about their youth, and how life was 60 to 80 years ago.
Before long, the stories from the greatest generation that ever lived will only be found in old newspapers. This is because time catches up with all of us and we must pass the torch on to the next generation.

The Civil War newspaper stories from 150 years ago are more readily available today than they were at any time in the past. This is due to advances in media, and the accessibility of old newspapers online.
Today, Americans hear about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq from the televised news reports that show videos and pictures of what is actually happening in these faraway lands. During the Civil War, all there was were newspaper war correspondents that had their reports published in the newspapers.

The newspaper articles written about World War 1 bring to life the grim reality about the first time the entire world was in a conflict with itself. This was a period in history before political correctness was taken overboard and graphic details were included.
Back at the turn of the last century, the war of words was fought in publications. This was the only medium available at the time. Unlike today when there is a direct telephone line running between the major leaders’ offices, back then most communication was done publicly in the papers.

With newspaper headlines for historical events, the past can be relived. In some cases, the events that are reported are celebrated for years to come. This includes Independence Day, and when the first man walked on the moon.
Other stories that have made headlines in the past are sometimes forgotten about until there is a link to the present times. Such an example is with Jack Harrison’s death on June 10, 2010. Jack was the 98th man in the list of 200 escapees from the famous Great Escape from the Stalag Luft III.
With really old newspaper articles, the older generations can re-live their past and bring back memories of their youth. For the younger generations, the old newspaper articles are a glimpse into the past and a piece of history.
Unlike today’s headlines, back nearly a century ago newspaper reporters made simple gossip into headline news to fill the papers. But there was also real news. A good example is from March 23, 1933 of the Wellsboro Gazette. The headlines were “Miss Ella Buck Dies at Marsh Creek Home.” In the very next column on the front page is the wedding announcement of Ivan Bernkopf to Mrs. Nina Kincaid Smith. This announcement went on to list all that attended the wedding.
With today being Memorial Day, newspaper articles on Iwo Jima are in the minds of many Americans, along with the brave men that died there protecting our rights and freedom.
What few know is that this small volcanic island was a source of sulfur mining and sugar refining before the Japanese decided to place a military base on it in 1944. While no American has forgotten what this island cost in American lives or its significance during World War Ii, interest has reemerged with the HBO series, The Pacific.

By reading Old Newspaper Articles, there is more than just learning about the past. It is reliving history as it happened.
The internet is the medium in which you can access this rich wealth of information, but the stories you will find are so much different than what the younger generations are getting used to. Today, the headlines dominate the news stories that are read. Good humor and filler stories are a thing of the past.
When looking for someone who is deceased, an obituary archives subscription can make your search considerably easier. Most of the databases for looking up a person’s ancestral past are set up to make it easier for those looking for information. This is so much easier than having to know the date and area of which a person passed away so the appropriate paper could be looked through to see the obituary.
Most of these databases have multiple ways a person can conduct their research. There is the keyword system. This is where you can enter a college where a person went to school. Many of the data bases have connections with the different universities that keep track of the death of their alumni.
The death archives subscription may sound morbid, but they are necessary and very often used by associations to know when a member or past member has passed away. This is done so not only can the surviving members honor the members that pass away, but to keep an accurate record of their membership.
These types of subscriptions can be found in many different sources. Many of these are provided free of charge from the different public libraries. The biggest drawback to these sources of information is they are limited to their local region only. Unless you know the exact area of those that you are looking for, their death notice could go unnoticed.

If you need to search news archives, you would want to use a database that is filled with multiple sources that would cover these historical events from many different vantage points. It was common in the past for smaller newspapers to run the same headlines as the major cities across America, but with a local journalist writing them. These small town reporters have different interests and views as those journalists in the major metropolitan areas.

The American Civil War Timeline was very well defined by the American newspapers. This was the primary source of information in the mid 1800’s along with diaries that were written by the soldiers.
The photos we have from back then are few but there are many drawings, mostly from soldiers that were actually in the battles they drew. The stories were written and relayed to the newspaper office by either courier or telegraph. The pictures and drawings were always later than the stories because they had to be hand carried.

Famous historic newspaper headlines, is a loaded statement. To define this first one must ask what is famous to them. Would it be an accident like “Accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Reactor,” or “Titanic Plunges into Sea”.
It could also mean a disaster like “San Francisco Earthquake Spreads Destruction” or “ Johnstown Flood of 1889”. All these are famous but so are “Al Capone Convicted” and “Emily Earhart Disappears in South Pacific”. It is all relevant to what a person knows and how they perceive the world.

The worst natural plight of human suffering up to that time was the great Irish potato famine. Immigration to the United States by the Irish saw a dramatic increase, but not all were given a warm welcome.
As reported by The World, a New York paper, on September 12, 1897, what had happened 50 years ago in Ireland? The population of Ireland dropped almost in half, from 8,175,124 to 4,706,102 in those 50 years since the famine.

The study of genealogy is often called building your own family tree. Years ago it was reserved for old people who were retired and had a lot of free time on their hands. Now with the internet there is a multitude of reference websites for genealogy and family history.
Much time is wasted by those that believe they can connect up to some famous person in history because that is what they were always told. It may turn out to be true or it may not, but if you do not go through the standard research steps, one by one, you will just be spinning your wheels and wasting time.

There were many Nazi Germany newspaper headlines during the war. Some of them caught little attention like the Daily Register’s headline on May 17, 1945 which read ”Believe High Nazis Trying to Get to Japan.”
This was the story reported when a U-boat was captured in the Atlantic. On board were three Nazi Air Force Generals. Also on board were the bodies of two Japanese sailors that had committed hara kari before the u-boat surrendered.
