at last.....I'm working a bit backward here. this blog relates to challenge #5, with #4 to follow. the newspaper search was fascinating. the first search (Tuckerton) in Americas Newspapers brought up 28,867 worldwide hits. they included regional papers such as the Central Record in Medford.....a little broader, with the Trenton Times, and so forth. Going into the search by "lead" there were 5,160 hits - but some were from more prominent papers - i.e. Phila. Inquirer.

doing a "headline" search cut the number of hits by over half, and the papers were more regional generally. adding "ocean" brought them down to 502.

a search for Elaine McConnell nationwide brought up 2582 hits (including a GA paper). adding "librarian" trimmed this to 50 -- the OC Observer, AC Press, APP, New Egypt Press etc..

Then I played with a personal search, with "Osborn family NJ". by adjusting the limits (dropped NJ, added MN etc) I found an obit for Judith Kempf of MN...It was in the Duluth News Tribune. at her funeral, the pastor was : Sharon Osborn !
