First, an announcement from Scott Holl, manager of the History and Genealogy Department at St. Louis County Library Headquarters. Those of you with interest in the historic St. Louis Post-Dispatch will be delighted to learn that the online database offered by St. Louis County Library to its patrons will now extend to 1968. Previously the database stopped at 1922. Actual digital images of the newspaper, beginning with 1874, are available with your St. Louis County library card at https://www.slcl.org/content/historical-st-louis-post-dispatch-proquest/.

We also want to make you aware of a free week-long conference focused on Western European research. Held from the 15th through the 19th of May and sponsored by FamilySearch, the focus of the conference will be on Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium. If you live in or near Salt Lake City, you can attend in person. An additional 500 people can register for the online version, a series of webinars. The entire week's schedule as well as links to registration are at the FamilySearch wiki at https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Western_European_Family_History_Conference/.

Finally, check out the updates to our Orphanages page on the StLGS website! Viki Fagyal, author of the ongoing orphanage articles that have been appearing in our StLGS Quarterly, has created a wonderful bibliography, timeline, and census charts that should be of great help to everyone looking for more information on ancestors who spent time in a St. Louis orphanage. Find all these new pages as links in the right-hand column called "More Orphanage Information" at http://stlgs.org/research-2/institutions/orphanages/.Have you missed any of our blog posts?
