Correcting the ocr sounds useful.

[@williampeck844]

Thank you so much for this video! This was extremely helpful!

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

You're so welcome!

[@sr2291]

I look for food recipes in old newspapers. And sewing, crochet and knitting patterns.

[@dhcowgirl]

Wonderful information Devon. I wasn’t aware of the edit feature. Thank you. 🥰

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

I discovered that feature by playing around with the website. I thought it made a great tip.
BTW... I hope you're well. It's been too long since we've spent time at conferences together.

[@dhcowgirl]

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Hi Devon - boy oh boy, do I ever miss our in person conferecnes. Hope we can all convene again soon, although I doubt it will be the same. I think there will be a lot of folks not come and some retired. But, hope we can carry on. I'm creating beginner digital scrapbook videos now too. Many requests from friends. I doubt mine will be as good as yours, but I have something to shoot for. Please take care ♥

Thanks. I love your videos. Have you seen the Trove newspaper collection in Australia? We have hundreds of newspapers and gazettes scanned into one collection. I don’t know if it’s available overseas though.

[@shelleymonson8750]

Yes, it is available abroad, I have found many useful things in Trove! (I’m in the U.S.)

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Yes. I have seen Trove. However, I'm not well versed with that website. If you can recommend someone more familiar to come be a guest on our Friday shows, I'd love to let them come share some tips.

[@robynvh2]

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics What a great idea. I’ll contact them in the new year and let them know. There won’t be many staff around at this time of year.

[@louisedawson3251]

Is it possible to connect the first part of an article at the bottom of a page and the end of the article at the top of the next column without including other text on the page that is not part of the article?

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Sadly not on the platform. HOWEVER, you can use photo editing software to combine them together. I prefer Photoshop Elements because I can do SO many things with it.

[@sandyd-h9563]

Can I check without a subscription? I don't want to pay if the newspaper isn't available.

[@mandlerparr1]

Yes, you can see what newspapers they have available without a subscription.

[@FamilyHistoryFanatics]

Yes. The first search tips covered in this video work as you try to determine if the website has records for your area. Forgive me if that wasn't clear. I tried to make it so.

[@donnamartz6361]

Be sure to check the dates of the newspapers as well. I have a subscription to News... But, there are a lot of cases that there is a newspaper available for a region but they don't have all the dates. But, some stories are printed in papers a little distance away. An obituary for a prominent ancestor was reprinted in a 75 years ago today column. So, you want to poke around a bit.

Is this where the show notes are supposed to be?
