Bronx NY newspapers circa 1949

Post by roobyred »

I'm looking to find out the name of a Bronx newspaper in 1949. The name starts with " The H....." There's a pic of my grandparents celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary inside the first or last page of this paper.
The VOL. is XLI, NO. 24 and it's a second edition.
Can anyone give me some pointers as how to find this genealogy gem??
Thanks Roberta

I'd reach out to the NY public library system, there's a good chance they'd have it on microfilm. If they can determine the full name of the newspaper, that is.

It sounds like you already have a copy of the clipping? Can you post a pic, if so?
Surnames of interest:
Artale, Minincleri, Cattat (Accattato), Manfredi, Licetti, Durso, Pizzuto

Possibly The Home News, also called The Bronx Home News?

Another possibility... The Herald Tribune.

Try using www.postimage.org
Copy and paste the "Direct Link URL"

Can you give us the names EXACTLY as they are written in the clip?
