In trying to determine where my aunt taught school in the 1930s and 1940s, I’m relying on digital versions of newspapers and yearbooks as I have no record of where she taught. Her name, Margaret Habben, is relatively uncommon which makes it easier. However, if the name had been more common, adding what she taught as a search term would have helped to narrow the results. Yearbooks were an obvious item to search and newspapers were used as her employment by the local school board was often mentioned as was the occasional field trip with students.
