Lake County Ohio GenWeb Newspapers and Obituaries |
Newspapers are a great source of genealogical information. Here are listed many local newspapers and where they can be found. The links are mostly for the obituaries. Do not ignore the Cleveland papers as many people put obituaries in the "big" papers. ILL means Inter-Library Loanable. The links with URLs are off-site.
