I'm also not crazy about some things with GenealogyBank, such as the strong representation of current papers when the marketing only talks about historical papers and the large part of the site dedicated to public domain government documents. It always seems Janice M.

As for newspaper websites, it really depends on what you need and which site has those papers. For doing client work, one needs them all. I just don't like Genealogy Bank's attitude towards the use of their images.Lisa S.

Choose the Veteran's Affairs category and then search for your person. All the Rev War files I wanted came up. Some, but not all, of the Civil War files. I think those are still being added, but they are the same image collection. All free!Linda Stufflebeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652044674485948749noreply@blogger.com
