== Introduction  ==
 
Newspapers publish marriage, divorce, death, funeral notices, and obituaries. These may include names, dates, and places. Marriage and death notices may contain maiden names and names of parents and other living relatives.
 
Newspapers also publish articles of local interest that often cover religious and social events in the community and include the names of people involved. Some newspapers serve several communities and devote columns to the social events in the area. Newspapers also include legal notices, estate sales, and advertising for local businesses.
 
One strategy for using newspapers in research, is to select a time period in which your ancestor lived and look for obituaries and birth, marriage, and death notices. Read all the articles generated in the county where your ancestor lived, especially articles that give information about the churches and schools your ancestor may have attended.
