I spend some time searching newspapers for information on people in my family tree.
This can be a rich source of information from reports of births, deaths and weddings.
I sometimes find a life history in a report on a Golden Wedding.
These reports bring to life the people in my family tree.
I also find reports of events that could be disturbing to relatives.
A suicide when the daughter is living and knew about the event.
A suicide when the granddaughter is living and did not know about it.
A report about child neglect in the early 1900s, for a man with a glowing obit 20 years later.
On a similar subject, English census records in the 1800s had a column with terms such as "imbecile" for a person.
What are the views of this group on reporting negative information about people in an Ancestry Tree ?
