Old Fulton Postcards is a wonderful and little known site for genealogical research for people with New York connections. The site is totally free, which makes it even better. It contains over 23 million scanned pages from old newspapers, most of them from New York, though a few are from other states, and even Canada. The newspapers go all the way back to the early 1800’s and all the way up to the 1980’s. The site is searchable in a number of different ways, and learning to search in the best way will ensure you get the results you need without having to scroll through thousands of results. Best of all, by discovering mentions of your ancestors in old New York newspapers (which include newspapers from across the entire state), you may solve long-standing family mysteries and discover information you would never have found anywhere else.
