Finding an old article.
Hello. I believe I have read an article long ago about a man and his family. Problem is, I'm not too certain for it was quite some time ago. Yet, I saw a picture of him and his family on Facebook and I had deja vu. I met this man earlier this year. I asked him if he had ever been in a magazine article and he told me he was many years ago. He said it was a bad time. I don't think he gave me the whole story. So my question is, is there any possibility I can find this article on the internet? I've been searching his name but all I can find is his basic information. I really want to see it again. Does anyone know a way to find the article? Any websites that would be much better results than Google?

If you know who the article was about and the theme and for sure the publication you can call their newsroom. Ask them how you can look at their archives online or in person for the article. These days if you tell them who an article was about and the gist they can punch up EVERYTHING ever written about the person.
Some papers put their archives online for a fee like the Toronto Star, NY TIMES etc. for a fee. If it's a community newspaper that you get for free their archives are spotty at best. But, you'll have to contact them.
I don't know where you live but most metropolitan cities have a central research/reference library. You'll typically find a morgue (where dead articles from newspapers go) from the birth of the city to present day. They keep the major dailies and the articles all on microfilm and these days digital that you can can print and scan. Look into these things and I'm sure you'll find article.
