Digitized newspapers at the Library of Congress

You might find some information relevant to your genealogy research at chroniclingamerica.loc.gov.
This digital collection of The Library of Congress includes more than 11 million searchable, digitized pages from 2,100 newspapers, covering 1789 to 1924. There is also a U.S Newspaper directory of 154,000 newspapers going back to 1690, showing titles, years covered, and listing the institutions that hold them. (The library's collection of Brooksville newspapers on microfilm is not cataloged, so the library will not be listed as an holder). And there's a bonus: each day the site features newspapers from exactly 100 years ago.
If you have a question, there is a link for emailing a librarian in the LOC periodicals department.
While you are there, take time to see what else the LOC offers online: a large amount of historic video, audio, and documents.
