Don't know how comprehensive it is, but it could prove useful in some
cases, a news archive search on Google.

One of the (many) joys of old newspapers is that their spelling was
about as bad as their more modern counterparts...but at least the spin
was not so evident! :-)

I'm sure Google will come up with a "sounds like" option.

And if you don't remember the URL just bring up Google, click on news

and then you can click on Archive Search or Advance News search.

Thanks very much for this. I put in the name of an individual I am
researching, whose 1910 obituary I had previously found in the New York
Times archive at a local Library, and got four more obituaries from
different papers plus three other news stories about him.

It's extremely useful. I did have to subscribe to a database that may
include Newsbank, that includes the rural papers in the area I'm
researching.

Thank you very much for the site, it's been very useful as I've found
references and articles about people I've been trying to find for years.
While the text is garbled on the older articles, they are complete and free.
I read through the entire page, cutting and pasting as I go. From the new
document thus created, it's possible to make corrections or at the very
least, to get the gist of the article, and it does give the timeframe of
the event.
