Other than entering a name, how else do you search? Do you feel like you’re missing out on what others seem to be finding? How do you figure out what you need to know before you go searching? We’re going to talk about directories and newspapers from the basics to combining search techniques for building a case study. I’ll show you where to look and where not to bother, and I’ll provide a handout of resources for you to take home. This is for you if you’re fairly new to genealogy and don’t know where to go “next”, or if it’s been a while since you last looked at directories and newspapers. I’m also going to show you a trick for searching the Saskatchewan Historic Newspapers Online.
