The National Genealogical Society is pleased to announce that
it has
>made available online, abstracts from "The National
Intelligencer"
>(Washington, DC), 1800-1850.
>
>This database is a very special, fully indexed abstract
database of
>marriage and death notices from this early newspaper. The
National
>Intelligencer, like all newspapers, did not record every
birth or
>death for a given period. However, the abstracts are a
fascinating
>account of events that happened to prominent individuals and
their
>families, including bizarre events such as deaths resulting
from
>disasters, early wars, duels, massacres on the frontier, or
epidemics.
>Although published in the nation's capital, individuals
included in
>the abstracts are from all over the country-and the world.
>
>Curt B. Witcher, President of the National Genealogical
Society
>stated, "The treasures genealogists will find in The National
>Intelligencer database are truly remarkable. While published
in
>Washington, DC, researchers will find abstracts from up and
down the
>entire Atlantic seaboard, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and
beyond.
>Indeed, this database may provide the keystone clues in the
search for
>an illusive ancestor."
>
>The name index to the database is available online at no
charge, and
>is fully searchable including assistance with name variations
and
>misspelled names. A user fee is charged for access to the
full
>database at a modest charge to cover costs.
>
>According to NGS's Executive Director, Wendy Herr, "A
special effort
>was made to accommodate both the needs of the casual user, as
well as
>the more serious genealogical researcher through an option to
use the
>full database for either a thirty day period, or an more
extended
>search".
>
>The database is located under "Resources" on the main NGS Web
site
>http://www.ngsgenealogy.org .
