This website contains link lists for several types of newspapers, including government news bulletins and regular news. | |||
Government newspapers list all kinds of official business, along with the names of the parties involved. They may include names of young men who failed to show up for muster, legal and illegal emigrants, probate notices, and more. The WikiSource pages for many German states include links to digitized government newspapers. | |||
· The link list titled “''[https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Amtsbl%C3%A4tter_der_preu%C3%9Fischen_Bezirksregierungen Amtsblätter der preussischen Bezirksregierungen]''” (Official papers of the Prussian regional governments) includes links to various 19<sup>th</sup> Century online editions of official papers from most regional capital cities. The lists keep on growing, and better search engines yield many a fortuitous find. These types of papers often include lists of people intending to emigrate and of young men who did not appear for muster. | |||
