The following news release was written by NewspaperARCHIVE.com staff.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa (PRWEB) January 18, 2009 – Cedar Rapids-based NewspaperARCHIVE.com, the world’s largest online historic newspaper database, has partnered with Phyllis Matthews Ziller, M.L.I.S., webmaster of Genwriters.com, to release her third article showcasing genealogical writing. The new article, “Genealogists Find More Than Obituaries in Historical Newspapers,” details how genealogists can find great family history in wedding and anniversary notices, unclaimed mail notices, military news, and other sections of a newspaper.
“Too often genealogists search only for obituaries when there is so much information sitting in other pages of a newspaper to help break through brick walls and lead the way to vital record sources,” said Phyllis Matthews Ziller.
New content written by Ms. Ziller is integrated into the new Users sidebar on the NewspaperARCHIVE.com website, allowing both members and visitors to easily access the information. The articles are provided at no cost and do not require a membership to view.
“Phyllis Matthews Ziller’s writings are a wonderful addition for our users,” said Stephen Carr, Content Developer for NewspaperARCHIVE.com. “Her understanding of both old newspaper design and the needs of a genealogist make her a perfect fit for us.”
Phyllis Matthews Ziller is one of several new writers who are featured on the NewspaperARCHIVE.com website. Writers are selected for the quality of their work, the subject and scope of their interests, and their interest in historic newspapers.
