Great! In my opinion, putting the name of the newspaper is no
worse/better than a previous question about putting information about
how to purchase a genealogy book about your county. You're not
advertising for the newspaper/publisher, you are just informing
interested parties where the info came from & how to obtain a copy for
themselves - something I would like to know if I were interested (which
I have been in 2 cases now).
In other words - Bravo, Linda! Charge on!
