What Others Have to Say About How to Find Your
Family History in Newspapers:
"Read it. Study it. Absorb it. But above all, use Lisa
Louise Cooke’s new book as the guide and instructional tool that
it is meant to be. As a veteran of research and libraries, I
found all sorts of nuggets and new resources. Beginners will
find an embarrassment of riches, including an impressive
appendix with a comprehensive list of online routes to national,
international and local newspapers. This is as close as you’ll
get to one-stop shopping for learning about historical newspaper
research."
Steve Luxenberg, Washington Post associate editor
and author of Annie’s Ghosts
"A Journey Into a Family Secret “Newspapers
are genealogy’s ‘hottest’ record group today and Cooke’s
engaging writing teamed with helpful worksheets makes searching
for them much easier.”
James M. Beidler, Award-winning newspaper columnist and
Genealogy Lecturer
"Newspapers hold the richest details about
the lives of our families. In addition to revealing names and
dates, newspapers allow us to place our families in the context
of their time. Even better, sometimes they hold the “good
stuff.” But until now, the search has been daunting and
frustrating.
“Not any
longer. Lisa Louise Cooke’s new book guides you through the
dark, scary forest of newspaper research. If you follow her
step-by-step instructions, she will help you discover things you
didn’t even know you wanted to learn. She will get you organized
and keep you that way. Her YouTube and podcast links help to
reinforce the easy-to-understand material in the book. Perhaps
most valuable are the appendix lists of hundreds of newspaper
resources and repositories in the US and throughout the world
that are available today at your fingertips. You just can’t ask
for more. Read this book. But more importantly, use this book.
Don’t leave your home page without it.”
Paula Hinkel, Genealogy Enthusiast, and current SCGS
Vice President and Jamboree Co-Chair.
“Mining genealogical
gems from newspapers is the next frontier in genealogy and it is
great that Lisa is paving that way. She introduces researchers
to new, innovative ways of locating newspapers. Even though Lisa
is a techie, she makes things simple for people who have a hard
time finding the “on” button. But the best part is, Lisa writes
with the same enthusiasm she has when lecturing. She is fun!”
