💎 Google Books is known for free digitized books, but is also packed with hidden old newspapers. Since newspapers don't typically appear in your initial search results, I'll show two ways to filter down to only newspapers plus my best strategies for quickly finding the right article.

I have a cousin-in-law who researched an ancestor who according to legend died of a head injury. she found the newspaper article and found the ancestor was murdered by a blow to the head with a brick.
Using your tutorial, I found that my Czech immigrant grandfather was listed among those who bought liberty bonds in 1917, and the pamphlet with the names also talked about the pressure tactics agents used in this small Idaho town. Then I found his name in a list entitled "American Poland- China Records Association" publication in 1920. I didn't have a clue what that could be about (he was a farmer so it couldn't be foreign diplomacy). When I paged through, I discovered that the title referred to a very special breed of registered pigs! My grandfather had bought three of them! It just makes me laugh that there's a public record recording that he bought pigs. What a note for posterity!
How fun and fascinating, thanks for sharing!!
I love this. ❤
Oh my goodness! I'm in a Google hole! I've been transcribing my biological grandmother's 30 years of diaries. When I put in her name with the Newspaper filter, I came up with all kinds of entries, her visit to her in-laws, her divorce, her remarriage, and I'm sure there will be more and more. I have so many other family names to try. This is such as awesome tool. Thank you so much!!!
What a wonderful rabbit hole to fall down! LOL So glad the video was helpful. 😍
Referred to you via Dead Fred's Facebook page. Glad to have these tips. I have been faithfully using Google, Google Books, and Google Translate for genealogy research since 1999 but never knew I could find many newspapers this way. Many thanks!
Excellent newspaper video and I liked that you included the Google News Archive. Years ago I came across Google News Archive and I did some work on it. You might want to update your video to include the blogs I created for the newspapers (USA and Canada), I think the viewers will benefit greatly from the information.

Fantastic tutorial. I'd forgotten about Google books and honestly hadnt realized they had a focus on Newspapers at all. As I'm fairly web savvy, I was listening in the background as I decided to give it a test, and sure enough immediately found something interesting. Look forward to trying this out more.. Thanks!
Wow! You easily helped me find an obit from 1988 newspaper!! Thanks! D
Fantastic!! And you're welcome. :-)
Thank You Lisa! ONE of the reasons I do the G is bcuz of my parents' rocky marriage and the rumor that I have a younger brother (via my father). After watching this video again recently, I did some more detailed searches following your instructions. I found my mother filed for divorce when I was 10 months old. This helps me with the timeframe when baby bro may have been born, where I only had suspicions up til now. Thank You Again!!!
You're very welcome. I'm delighted to hear about your success!!
Thanks for this tip. Newspapers have been invaluable in fleshing out the lives of ancestors and thru which I discovered my 3rd great grandmother was the local gossip columnist in her happenings column. Naturally she documented for decades her family and others. But I also found clues to family events like someone's barn burning; a different 3rd great grandfather's store burning (and HOW and then a few weeks later the report on how much the insurance company paid out! For some reason, insurance payouts were big news...bc they were advertising for the insurance company.
Thanks again for the new source!
Those old gossip columns are so entertaining!
Love, love, love newspapers, especially the social pages from before the Internet age. They were the "social media" of the time. Newspapers add sooo much color to the facts & figures we usually collect. I wonder how future generations will manage to access "old Facebook postings" etc.
Agreed, and good question!
Hello Kimberly, Thanks for the love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Google digitized newspapers at the Bavarian State Library. I found a 2 1/2 page article in a 1814 German newspaper about my gggg-grandparent who was beheaded. he was responsible for four deaths.
Thank you for all you do for our genealogy community ❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing, Lisa. I love old newspapers for family and local history. I have used the old Google news archives for a few years to track down obituaries, marriage announcements, and historical events. The Google Books search feature has made the process easier. I use screen capture to clip articles and save them as images to insert into family stories. I can also go through my public library's website from home and search my state's collection of newspapers to save clips. They have papers from my home town that are not on the Google site. The clippings add flavor and a level of authenticity to my family's stories. The old papers also confirm the "history repeats itself" fact. The same types of crime and political ploys took place years ago as they do now.
This is such a great video and great resources! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank You!
Rachel, Thank you so much, I am going to check this out!!
This is a terrific video Lisa! Google Books is such a favorite of mine, and this video clearly shows best practices for searching! Chronicling America is a terrific resource to determine which publications were printed in a particular location and time period.
Hello Aimee, Thank for all the love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very helpful
Wow! I just tried. It works! 👍 Thank you! 😊
I found a book that mentions a great grandfather from the 1770's in New Jersey that I could buy from Amazon. I've not been able to read it since my husband grabbed the book and is in the middle of reading it. The book talks about the US Revolution.
I have used both the "old" google newspapers and Google Books, but did not know how to use this method. Thank you, this is so helpful. The old way did not really allow searching. Great tips. Thanks, Lisa.
You are so welcome! Thanks!
Excellent informative video
Thanks Lisa. I found an article about my grandfather who died before I was born. It was written by his friend who was with him when he died and fleshed out the story that I had heard about his death.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this information…it will not only help me personally but help me when researching for clients that I research for. Thanks again!!
You're so welcome! Glad you found it useful.
Great information! Thanks, Lisa!
Glad it was helpful!
Historic Georgia Newspapers is an excellent free site! Thanks for your expertise I greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for all of your help.
My pleasure!
This was very helpful. I just found my 3rd great grandmother's obituary that not only told me where she is buried since the town/cemetery record said unmarked grave. I am happy to say she is buried in the plot of my 3rd great grandfather.
That's great!
Hello Maude, thanks for the love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fulton Newspapers are another great source.
Hello sue, thanks for the love and support
Another amazing video I can't wait to share it with my genealogy group next month! Thank you for all you do!
You're welcome and thanks for sharing our videos!
Hello Laurie, thanks for the love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So glad it was helpful!

Thank you for this information, it has helped me find more articles, but 1. how do I add this to Ancestry, etc. Do I download it to my computer, then up load it to the site/profile? Step by step please. 2. How do you do the citations when you are adding these things to their profile. I did notice that when you find an article it is already on the page your information is on. You save the article in Favorites so you won't lose it, but when you go back to it later, it's on the very first page of the newspaper. So how should the citation read? Again, Thank You
I have better luck with the Google newspaper archive. I like the interface
Fantastic video! Haven't tried it yet was wondering what the best way to get the data into your tree. Just asking.
Thanks! I type the key info into my genealogy software database, and then I like to clip the article with Snagit . See my video here on YT or on my website at lisalouisecooke.com/2021/06/21/how-to-use-snagit-for-genealogy/ From Snagit I can save it to my hard drive and to many other programs. Snagit also has a "Grab Text" feature which is brilliant for newspapers. Check out Snagit at our affiliate link tinyurl.com/snaggems and if you decide to use it use our coupon code GENE15 to save 15%.
How do you print a newspaper article? Mine takes up half the front page. I'm in the archives.
The best way is to use a web clipper to clip the section you want, or clip it in smaller pieces. That way you get a higher resolution portions you can read. Google Books has a web clipper built in. You could even save the clippings to a cloud service like Dropbox and then print them when you get home.
Does this work with Canadian newspapers and British newspapers?
Yes, I know it includes some Canadian newspapers. See the show notes for a link the the list of newspapers included. lisalouisecooke.com/2023/01/18/newspapers-google-books/ You can check there to see if there are any British newspapers included.
Every time you click to move to the next page, it takes off the quotation marks and you have a mess.
How do you do a newspaper search on an android tablet? I need step by step info, please.
You can follow the same steps as you would on a regular computer. First you launch your tablet's web browser, then you can go to the web addresses that Rachel talked about. If you want to save the image(s) you found, you should touch-and-hold on the image. That should pop up an option to share or save the image to wherever you like.
Side note: Rachel's focus is on the genealogy data, rather than the hardware. If you need extended help, it's probably best to get someone local to help you through technical challenges. They'll be more responsive _and_ right there to actually show you.
I have my own self listed in the news paper in 2009 my pictures in it I’m trying to find it cuz my face ripped 😭😭😭 it’s more for memories I’m trying to find one that’s not ripped
Any advice for me this how I ended up here
Recent newspapers are probably available in digital form on the newspaper's website. It might not be free, but they should have it, I would guess.
