\n<\/strong><\/span>
\nWell, no we don’t – but that’s not the question you want to ask. <\/strong><\/span>GenealogyBank has over 3,800 newspapers – all of them published in the United States – but it has several million articles, records and documents on Canadians.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/span> I have been researching my family tree for 45 years and I can tell you that you’ll find the information on your family where you least expect to find it.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a wedding announcement for Alexander James Ross of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Mary Moore McArthur of Picton, Nova Scotia – they were married in Chicago 6 March 1882. (<\/strong><\/span>Inter Ocean 14 March 1882<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a>). <\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\nNewspapers were published – every day.
\nAnd every day editors had to fill the next day’s paper & they wanted to sell papers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So they pulled “news” from a wide circle of influence. Birth announcements, marriage announcements, and obituaries from small town and big city newspapers.<\/p>\n

Just like CNN or Fox News – the daily newspapers had to fill their pages with hard news. News that people wanted to read and that would sell subscriptions.<\/p>\n

If you are researching Canadian genealogy then
\nGenealogyBank<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is an essential online tool.

\nEastport, Maine is a small town on the Maine coast right on the border with New Brunswick, Canada.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As you would expect the Eastport Sentinnel<\/a><\/em> regularly carried birth, death and marriage announcements for individuals and families from the Canadian side of the border.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at this example of marriage notices published in the
\n29 March 1828 Eastport (ME) Sentinnel<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/em> \"Eastport<\/a>Look at the places mentioned “Lubec” – “Dennysville” – “St. Andrews” – “Antigua” – “St. Stephens” and “Charlotte”. Towns on both sides of the border. “Antigua” refers to the island nation of Antigua. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Map<\/strong><\/span>Nothing unusual here – just a typical day with a newspaper editor packing his paper with the information his readers wanted to read. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like GenealogyBank – everyday we pack in more resources that genealogists need and rely on. You’re not finished with your research until you’ve searched the newspapers in GenealogyBank.<\/strong><\/span>
