If you have #SalvationArmy members among your ancestors, be sure to check out War Cry from 1879-1985 which has been scanned by the British Newspaper Archive and released today. It contains a lot of local news. https://blog.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/2026/04/07/war-cry-salvation-army/ #genealogy #genchat #histodons #nonconformist @histodons @genealogy

@genchat I commented on historical newspapers here https://edintone.com/newspapers/ More recent reading suggests that court cases and reports of family events especially funerals are fairly safe. Reporters would collect their facts from the clergyman or undertaker. However treat crime reports with caution - they frequently included wild speculation and by today's standards would have prejudiced the trial. #genealogy #histodons @genealogy @histodons #genchat

@geneapleau Always a good tip to check the actual document or scan, especially on Ancestry. Often sections get skipped in the transcript when it gets harder to read or the transcriber doesn't understand the context - like marginal notes and end notes etc. #genealogy @genealogy #genchat

I've been pleasantly surprised by how much French-from-France (*not* French-Canadian) resources have been available thru RootsTech in recent (virtual) years. .
