Time’s running out on Ancestry’s free newspaper access

13 June 2008 by Libbi.

Access the entire Ancestry.com newspaper collection FREE through June 19th.

A young boy saves his brother from an oncoming train. A grandmother of 10 robs a local bank at gunpoint. Childhood sweethearts marry in the park where they met. Events like these could be part of your story.

But you’ll only find them in historical newspapers. And Ancestry has just doubled their collection, adding a billion names and 20 million images that can breathe new life into your family story and help you better understand your ancestors and their times.

Historical newspapers can also add context through the breaking news of the day, gossip columns, entertainment listings, advertisements and more.

But the offer is only good until next Thursday, so get busy!
