Attention Family Historians, Genealogists, and Civil War Buffs!!! The Boston Herald (1846 – 1991) has been digitized by NewsBank and the Belmont Library is participating in a trial of the database. Try looking for old family names; see if you can break through that “brick wall.” Please tell us of your successes or disappointments; all comments welcome.
