Headlines of Old


MISSING FRIENDS  Trove Tuesday  11th April 2023, Missing friends notices were popular in early newspapers. Other than word of mouth, there was little else. These notices often have a lot of detail that can't be found anywhere else. At least these notices can give you a place to start looking and often, an unknown connection.

Feel free to share… the title is the link.
