Question: Where can I find a free newspaper archieve!?
I'm trying to find the grave of my great grandfather!. Where can I find a free, no subscription needed newspaper archieve!. He died in 1948 in Seattle, WA!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You won't find 1948 newspapers from Seattle online!. You'll have a couple of options!. One is to go to the library and pull the newspaper films from that month and flip through until you find it!. The other is to visit the King County GenWeb site and find a volunteer who will go pull it for you!. There is much more genealogy offline than there is online!. Hook into GenWeb and you'll find your search much easier!.

Genevieve's Mom is right!.!.!. I'd like to suggest just a couple more thoughts, in case you haven't tried these angles:

Have you checked sites like www (dot) rootsweb (dot) ancestry (dot) com, and plugged in your great grandfather's surname!?

And findagrave (dot) com or interment (dot) net may have a record for him already posted!.

Please substitute " (dot) " with an actual dot like this: !.

this site has death indexes for Washington state!. A death notice/ obit is not guaranteed to have the place of burial!. The death certificate WILL have that!. If you have any means of knowing who the mortician was, you might also try that, if they are still in business!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
