Recently, I checked in GenealogyBank\u2019s Historical Newspaper Archives<\/a> for a few of my Sawyer relatives in Grafton County, New Hampshire\u2014and didn\u2019t find them. Bummer.<\/p>\n

When I search in GenealogyBank and do not find my target relatives, I make a quick note to try again in a few weeks to see if I can find articles about them later.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because GenealogyBank updates its archives and keeps adding millions of articles\u2014in fact we update over 3,000 newspapers every day. What is not there today might be added to GenealogyBank tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Case in point: Not finding my Sawyer family, I next decided to recheck GenealogyBank for the Schell family of North Adams, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

I had searched for them in the past, but found nothing.<\/p>\n

Bang\u2014this time I found them.<\/p>\n

I discovered quite a few articles about H. Horton Schell\u2019s business and fraternal association activities, several obituaries and this wedding announcement.<\/p>\n

\"wedding<\/a>
Springfield Republican (Springfield, Massachusetts), 12 February 1935, page 7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Great. This article gives me the details of the wedding of my cousin Harlan Horton Schell (1907-2001) along with a photograph of his wife Marion Rudman Spencer (1908-1992).<\/p>\n

Digging deeper, I found the obituary of her father, Albert Edmund Spencer (1876-1965). Good catch, as this gives me his middle name: \u201cEdmund.\u201d That\u2019s a good clue for further searches.<\/p>\n

\"obituary<\/a>
Boston Herald (Boston, Massachusetts), 5 February 1965, page 29<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Continuing to search, I found this much longer obituary with many more details about his life and family.<\/p>\n

\"obituary<\/a>
Springfield Union (Springfield, Massachusetts). 5 February 1965, page 7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Genealogy Search Tip:<\/em><\/strong> If at first you don\u2019t succeed, try, try again. GenealogyBank\u2019s search page includes an \u201cAdded Since\u201d feature with a drop-down menu that lets you search on content added in the past one, two or three months.<\/p>\n

Good luck with your own genealogy searches!<\/p>\n
