RI's paper is mostly Providence Journal.
www.projo.com
I am not sure about the historical news being online. Also, there is a NE
genealogy website that might be helpful. I'll find that link.
What is the name of the person you are trying to find??

Hi - I'm trying to help someone in the UK find her 96 year old father's
cousin. The last she knew is that he was living in Rhode Island in the
1950's. She doesn't know where - and since it's relativily current there
is no census, and I'm not having any luck with finding them on earlier
censuses. So I was thinking maybe a marriage announcement or something
might be in a current article. I'm in California, so she's actually
closer in the UK, lol so stopping by a local library is out.
So here's my question. What are the local newspapers? and are they on
line? and once i'm done with those, is there a historical one? i.e. New
York Times, Los Angeles Times Historical. And what would be the big
newspaper in that area? would it even be in Rhode Island? maybe a
neighboring state might carry the news?
thanks for any of your thoughts and leads
Julie
