Attendees will learn more about how newspapers can take them far beyond the names and dates of their ancestors by enriching their research with unique stories and details that can only be found in newspapers.<\/p>\n Whether the challenge is overcoming a brick wall or learning more about the life of an ancestor, this class will teach you practical tips on how to get the most out of newspapers and obituaries. Participants will learn about the more than 9,000 online newspaper titles, published from 1690-today, available in GenealogyBank\u2019s online Historical Newspaper Archives<\/a> \u2013 while walking away with knowledge and resources that will allow them to immediately begin making discoveries of their own.<\/p>\n We Will See You There!<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the best things about a genealogy conference is that it provides attendees the ability to network, learn, and become inspired. GenealogyBank is looking forward to RootsTech 2019 because it allows us to get to know you and help you find your ancestors using something we love: historical newspapers. Come visit the GenealogyBank team at Booth #1025.<\/strong> Our trained staff would love to meet you, and are prepared to help with your family history questions.<\/p>\n Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An article about the presentation by GenealogyBank\u2019s Scott Spencer at RootsTech this Friday, March 1, about using newspapers for genealogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12717],"tags":[12,2009,2020,1655,40513],"class_list":["post-48299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-genealogy-conferences-activities","tag-genealogy","tag-genealogy-conferences","tag-newspaper-archives","tag-rootstech","tag-rootstech-2019"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/montage-0202-2016-featured-graphic-newspapers-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.genealogybank.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n
