There's much to be found in newspapers, on the internet as well as hard copy. I have a master source called Newspaper Clipping, with the Repository being Carolyn's Library, when I have the actual or downloaded article. The details of the paper, date, page, etc., I include in the Source Detail. I prefer a generic master source, although when I have the time I may segregate those from the New York Times, of which I now have several hundred.
As more and more make their archives accessible on line, it is possible to learn so much.

I recently came across several interesting newspaper clippings including items like "so and so attended a birthday party" and small bits of interesting tidbits along with clippings of a relative's letters to the editor. I am interested to know how other Legacy users enter things like these. I could come up with a "Misc" fact name as an umbrella catch-all for small little pieces of news like these items, or put them into an individual's notes but I'm not sure if there is another way to enter things like these or the advantages (or disadvantages) to entering things like these a certain way. Any ideas on how to enter these little news items? Thanks so much!
