Hispanic Newspapers Added to GenealogyBank
Unique Family History Information Ideal for Individuals Exploring Their Hispanic Heritage
NAPLES, FL--(Marketwire - March 24, 2008) - GenealogyBank.com, a leading online resource for
family history research, announced that it has begun to supplement its historical
newspaper collection with content from Hispanic
American Newspapers. In addition to millions of historical newspaper
articles, modern
obituaries, military
reports, books and other
essential genealogical documents, researchers can now enjoy access to
hundreds of fully searchable Spanish-language and bilingual newspapers -- a
boon to researchers of Hispanic heritage.
"Hispanic American Newspapers offers a unique opportunity for anyone who'd
like to learn more about their Hispanic origins," says Tom Kemp, Genealogy
Director for NewsBank, inc.
The initial release of Hispanic American Newspapers includes titles such as
Cosmopolita, Defensor del Pueblo, Continental and more than a dozen others.
With new titles added monthly, the collection will eventually span from
1808 to 1980, providing genealogists with access to the largest collection
of Spanish-language newspapers printed in the United States during the 19th
and 20th centuries.
Available online for the first time, these previously inaccessible
newspapers enable individuals with Hispanic ancestry to search obituaries,
illustrations and photographs, marriage and birth announcements and much
more.
