Nineteenth-century British newspaper searchable site
The election is over and it's time to turn back to genealogy. I just found this site that offers many British newspapers that you can search. You get the actual page, with your search term thoughtfully highlighted in green to zero in on your desired content (the type on those pages is really dense). I don't know how long this site will be available for use without charge, so make the most of it.

Note that the password to get in is "british" (all lowercase).

1. Wow! Thank you
I'm going to see if I can't chase my relatives all the way back to the isles. So far I've been confined to U.S. newspapers (Never underestimate the value of an obituary!), directories, and documents, but I have high hopes of finding something about the rellies before they got to New Jersey.
