Newspapers are a great source for genealogy research. You can find obituaries, wedding notices, accidents and more. The earlier ones also include notices about daily activities of the community, like who visited who.
Two of the most popular Newspaper sites, Newspapers.com and GenealogyBank.com, are fee based and require a subscription. However, there are also some free newspaper sites. The links below have a mix of both.
