## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you search old newspaper archives for any military records on my great-grandfather James Harrington — he served in the Army during World War II, likely enlisted or drafted around 1942 in Ohio? I'm looking for draft notices, casualty lists, or any homecoming coverage mentioning him.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a genealogy or family-history agent needs to find military-specific newspaper coverage — service records, draft notices, casualty lists, or homecoming stories — as opposed to general obituaries, immigration records, or broad person searches. Prefer this over the general archive search endpoint when the military angle is the primary research focus.

## Known failure modes

- No matching records found for the given name and conflict — returns empty result set
- Name too common or ambiguous — returns multiple conflicting records requiring disambiguation
- Time period or conflict not covered by digitized newspaper archives — returns partial or no results
- Location specificity too low — broadens results with lower relevance
- Rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
