Wow...Didn't know it was that extensive. I use it all the time, but i take LOC for granted. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Miriam, a wonderful service. May I use your info in our Genealogy newsletter (with attribution of course.) I've been looking at the Daytona Morning Journal (April 1975) and it looks good until I click the magnifier then the pages are completely scrambled and useless. I use Chrome but tried IE, FireFox & Opera, no difference. I flagged it as unreadable. Jerry Hale, Roots & Branches Genealogical Society of West Volusia County, Florida
