Newspapers

Of all of the records a family historian uses the local newspapers are one of the hardest to find and access yet these small, gossipy, local papers are apt to contain information that can't be found anywhere else. Such items as births, deaths and marriages are often mentioned and the local gossip column chats about who is doing what that week. It's not unusual to find mention of people who are traveling to visit relatives in other places or mention of visitors in town and who they are staying with. Local papers published information containing resident's names - such items as Warning Orders (notice of pending court cases), Homestead Information, Court dockets, Unpaid tax lists, etc. that are often gold mines of family information. Local news items recount all kinds of interesting things - from high profile crimes to funny local incidents. Reading these old newspapers gives the family historian a glimpse into the daily lives of their ancestors that simply can't be found anywhere else.

I am transcribing early Tulsa and Indian Territory newspapers (links below). It is a time consuming (but fun) process. If you are interested in contributing to this effort please contact me. (e-mail address at bottom of page)

If you know of a genealogy society (or library) that has copies of their town's papers please let me know so I can add the information here.
