[Genealib] America's GenealogyBank

[Joy Rich]

I'd like to stick in my two cents as a professional genealogist and 
editor of a genealogy journal. I find the content to be varied, unusual, 
and useful. The documents in "Historical Documents" and "Historical 
Books" aren't the ones typically found on either genealogy subscription 
services or free websites. And it's appropriate for genealogists at all 
levels of research.

Hi Sharon.
They are full-text, in fact the exact text, directly from the newspapers
themselves. Most all of the newspapers are "exclusives" with NewsBank 
and
not available elsewhere. The coverage is so complete that they capture 
80%
of all published obits each year for the last several years.

Does your library already subscribe?
