Newspapers

old newspaper pictureThis is genealogical and historical data taken from local newspapers and listed here for your personal research and reading pleasure.

Our “archaeologist” Paula Radwanski has painstakingly excavated this data from hundreds of pages of old newspapers via microfilm, microfiche, photocopies, and the newsprint itself.

Please keep the following in mind: The data is only as good as the source itself, of course; Spellings are exactly as the original [unless your editor has included something in brackets for your own info]. Some issues are missing or damaged.

Please cite Paula and the Wyoming County Historical Society when using this data as a source. See the copyright info below.

NOTE: We are still moving extracts over from the old web site. Please check back often to see more!
