For t...Used as tp? Lisa, you have a creative mind!<br /><br />For the search terms on this one, I already had the details laid out for me by the Find A Grave volunteer who carefully listed the original resource, so that is what I used for the search terms. Also, let me say I am in love with using quote marks to delineate exact phrases. So, in this case, my search terms were "Pioneer Press" "Hand County" "Martin M. Williams" (and maybe I also threw in "South Dakota" in case there were other places called Hand County). I didn't specify any one website resource because I didn't want to limit the search any more than I needed to. And it came up as my first hit. Talk about convenient. If it weren't for being spoon fed the actual obituary transcript, I probably would have had to play around with search terms (like "Martin Williams" with and without the middle initial).Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-39840423788839996912021-11-26T10:56:49.979-08:002021-11-26T10:56:49.979-08:00I want to know how you searched Google to find who...I want to know how you searched Google to find who had the newspaper issue? What were your search terms? I have this probably all the time. I think, with really old newspapers, the missing years are just that--missing, before they were ever microfilmed. It is so common in the south. Were these old papers used as tp?Lisa S. Gorrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086125812111254305noreply@blogger.com
