This post is part of a series for the April Blogging from A to Z Blogging Challenge. My theme is Newspaper Clippings in relation to my family history. These have come from both microfilmed and digitized newspapers I've searched over the past 25 years. Click to enlarge any clipping.

Thank you for your interest in my newspaper clippings!
HA HA - yes! That works. Well-done in the creative thinking department. Congratulations on completing the A-Z Challenge. Better start thinking for next year - this one will be tough to beat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. We'll have to see about next year. I appreciate your support.
DeleteWell done, I’ve enjoyed your series and am thinking it would be a good theme for me in 2020. I can only hope that one of my ancestors visited the zoo, had a misfortune with a zipper or visited Zeehan in Tasmania!! 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading through my clippings. Good luck with yours next year! I'll be watching for it.
DeleteThat must've been a slow news day! I really enjoyed reading your A to Z posts.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, you're probably right. Thanks for following along.
DeleteVisiting from A to Z, I grew up in New York City and was amazed, in the few years I spent in rural Arkansas as an adult, as some of the newspaper articles. This article would have been right at home in our small town weekly newspaper!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure newspaper clippings from a NYC paper may have fewer articles like what I've posted in this series. That's too bad because it's so much fun to find these little insights into an ancestor. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteThose must have been some potatoes! I wonder how many stopped in to take a look and bought something. I enjoyed your A to Z posts.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that did work to bring in business, LOL. Thanks for taking time for my clippings.
DeleteCongratulation on getting to Z and then actually doing a great play on this letter. Using the clippings was very interesting. I find that when I am researching newspapers for my family I end up reading other articles.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It takes a lot of discipline to stay focused on newspaper searches. I do my best, but also get side-tracked.
