Hi Ron, That's true - but your family must have been better than mine if you haven't hit this problem of unidentified newspaper clippings. The only clues are their content and where they were found. One of my great grandmother was a great clipper and sticker of newspaper bits of news and notices about family and friends as well as other things that caught her interest. The only date indication is the date of any deaths she happens to note in between them or mentioned in the articles. There is no indication which newspapers or magazines she is clipping unless the clipping itself happens to include the page headers and that is really rare. So I reference the exercise book of clippings as the only practical solution. It would take hours of research (make that weeks) to track down the actual newspapers even though I know many of them will be the South Australian newspapers. My grandmother also put aside some newspaper clippings. It also never occurred to her, or to her correspondents as I think some clippings were sent from England, to note which newspaper or what date. It was the information that was interesting. Rather difficult to know how to source these as they're not in an organised collection. Cathy
