How to Find Biographical Info in Newspapers
We have extensive databases of historical and current newspapers at Furman.
Beyond obituaries, you can often limit searches to:
- Birth notices
- Marriage announcements
- Soldier lists
- Arts, events
If you aren't finding what you need with the entire name, try the last name alone and search a specific time period.
