[or-roots] Genealogy Banks

[LinLouVan at aol.com]

I have a subscription to GenealogyBank and find it very helpful in doing  
historical research about Junction City, Oregon. To otherwise find small news 
 items about our small town in The Oregonian would be very difficult. In 
fact, I  just found that in October 1912, "Junction City had 12 1/2 blocks of 
paved  streets. . . The population is only 850. Junction City is the 
smallest city in  the state with the same amount of paved streets." Now where else 
would I find  that?
 
In Oregon the only newspapers they have are in Portland and Eugene.
 
Seriously though, if you have time to do extensive research, subscribe for  
only one month and see if you feel it is worth it. Worth is different to 
each  researcher.

Good  Morning, 
Has  anyone tried “Genealogy Banks”?  I am curious to know if anyone has 
tried  it and if it worth $70.00 for a year access.  I came across it when I  
doing some family research.  It has the Social Security database and  
unlimited newspaper access.
