[Genealib] Re: In Ancestry a library option?

[Lyn Meehan]

Correct! I have both ALE and Ancestry.com at my desk. If you pull both databases up and compare the two by 
=> "Search" from the top naviagtion bar,
=> bottom- right-hand corner select "List all databases" 
=> then narrow your topic by selecting the "Newspapers" Record Type
 
 you will see that e.g. Sheboygan Press, and others are not included because they belong to the Historical Newspaper Collection => view "Scope Notes" at the bottom.

I'm not so sure I agree with the author below.  Ancestry.com has
old newspapers that are not on AncestryLibrary.  Wish they were,
unless I am so dense that I have yet to find them.

Ancestry Library Edition contains everything that is on
Ancestry.com 
except anything that was contributed by the general population.

According to Proquest, things like OneWorldTree, the message
boards, 
etc. that have not been verified by Ancestry.com is not
included.

"Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.  City living by its definition is crowded.  It is tolerant of other people.  It is dependent on a sophisticated population that makes a hundred compromises daily so that they can benefit from the collective energy that a city generates."     --Robert N. Davis, Jr., May 4, 2004
