What Others Have to Say About How to Find Your Family History in Newspapers: 
"Read it. Study it. Absorb it. But above all, use Lisa Louise Cooke’s new book as the guide and instructional tool that it is meant to be. As a veteran of research and libraries, I found all sorts of nuggets and new resources. Beginners will find an embarrassment of riches, including an impressive appendix with a comprehensive list of online routes to national, international and local newspapers. This is as close as you’ll get to one-stop shopping for learning about historical newspaper research." 
Steve Luxenberg, Washington Post associate editor and author of Annie’s Ghosts

"A Journey Into a Family Secret “Newspapers are genealogy’s ‘hottest’ record group today and Cooke’s engaging writing teamed with helpful worksheets makes searching for them much easier.”
James M. Beidler, Award-winning newspaper columnist and Genealogy Lecturer   
 

“Mining genealogical gems from newspapers is the next frontier in genealogy and it is great that Lisa is paving that way. She introduces researchers to new, innovative ways of locating newspapers. Even though Lisa is a techie, she makes things simple for people who have a hard time finding the “on” button. But the best part is, Lisa writes with the same enthusiasm she has when lecturing. She is fun!”
