I just received this news release from MyHeritage:
Just in time for U.S. Independence Day, MyHeritage is offering free access to the entire collection of 151,432,486 U.S. newspaper pages on OldNews.com from July 3 to 5, 2025!
This is a great opportunity to uncover family stories, local happenings, and historical context in American papers dating back generations. Whether you’re looking for an ancestor’s wedding announcement or just curious about your town’s July 4th headlines from the past, there’s a treasure trove waiting on OldNews.com.
I know from experience that OldNews has some newspapers and community newsletters not in other databases so this is a great opportunity to see what we can find about our ancestors.
I’m not going anywhere near this as we have family visiting this weekend plus excruciatingly slow internet (which hopefully will be fixed next wee)…will just have to wait for the next time they open this collection…*sigh*…
