David replied to Miriam Robbins Midkiff's discussion Your Favorite Free (or Low-Cost) Genealogy Resources"Yes indeed, state archives are getting to be one of the genealogist's best friends, as they put more and more content online. If you haven't seen it already, definitely have a look at the Digital State Archives website."
David replied to Miriam Robbins Midkiff's discussion Your Favorite Free (or Low-Cost) Genealogy Resources"Tom...I did exactly as you suggested and made a list about midway through this thread.
Feel free to update that list, if the spirit moves you.
David"
David replied to Miriam Robbins Midkiff's discussion Your Favorite Free (or Low-Cost) Genealogy Resources"Since this has been such a great thread, I thought I'd add another resource, and bump the whole thing back into view.
Anyway, there's a good list of Free Vital Record look-ups, for anyone who's interested.

David replied to David's discussion The FGT Challenge: Free help with genealogy research"Karen,
Thanks for posting your interesting history. I wonder if I could ask you to paste your post into my blog so I have all the FGT Challenge material in one place? If not, no problem, but it would be nice to have it that way.
Cheers,
David"

- Hi David,
Can you help me with Freenewspaperarchives.com?
I'm not understanding why I can search a name in a newspaper and get a lot of results yet when I click on the links to open the pdf. file and hit the FIND feature for the specific surname I get 0 results back?? That is very frustrating!!
Thanks,
Vera
