Search the Tawas Herald 1884-1981

Read the tips below at least once! When you enter a search term in this tool and click "Search," it uses Google to look for that search term in the scanned PDF archives of the Tawas Herald from 1884 through 1981. Given the challenges of converting scanned images to searchable text, this is an imperfect tool. When it works, it adds convenience. If it does not find what you are looking for, it would be best to browse for it manually within the Tawas Herald 1884-1981 PDF collection itself.

Search

Search Tips:
BE SPECIFIC. Simple, generic searches return too many matches to be helpful. Use quotes to search for exact phrases, such as:

• "wilber township"

Try alternative spellings using "OR" to separate them, like:

• linderman OR lindeman

Try swapping first and last names, such as:

• "ray tuttle" OR "tuttle, ray"

Use AROUND(X) where X is the number of nearby words to consider close enough to match.
This creates a proximity search to look for one phrase within so many words of another, such as:

• "dr" AROUND(3) parmelee

Combine multiple methods. Examples:

• "john smith" OR "john smythe" OR "smith, john" OR "smythe, john"
• dam AROUND(2) "five channels"
