[or-roots] GenelaogyBank.com and Ancestry.com, etc.

[LinLouVan at aol.com]

First of all, I will say that I am just a researcher and in no way  
connected with any websites. I have the US subscription to Ancestry.com and I  have 
a subscription to GenealogyBank.com, as well as Fold3.com and  
WorldVitalRecords.com. I must say I do not use the latter two enough to make it  pay and 
will need to think hard about renewal.
 
When I'm doing strictly genealogical research, I use mainly Ancestry.com  
because I use Family Tree Maker 11 and they interface so nicely. Then if  I'd 
like to find an obituary, as Dale requested, GenealogyBank is the one.  
Sometimes Ancestry.com finds a link to ObituaryDailyTimes, but I've never been  
able to even see and obituary there -- without another subscription.
 
I also do a lot of strictly historical research about Junction City and the 
 greater area before Junction City was incorporated. And, believe it or 
not, The  Oregonian had quite a lot about all the areas of the state in those 
early  newspapers. If you go to GenealogyBank.com, click on Historical 
Newspapers as  soon as it loads and then you can choose a state. If I'm 
researching someone who  lived in the Portland area, I often click on both Oregon and 
Washington. Like I  mentioned before, the search engine is somewhat quirky 
(but I've pretty well  learned different ways to search) and clipping 
newspaper articles takes some  doing, but I'm getting used to it and appreciating 
it.
 
Like all the subscription sites, each researcher needs to find what works  
for them at any given time.
I hope that helps some. If you have further specific questions, I'd be  
happy to answer off the list.

Linda,  are you able to find quite a bit of info on Genealogy  Bank?  I've 
wondered about it and how does it compare to  Ancestry.com.

Thanks, Linda from another Linda.  I've got to look into  Genealogybank 
myself--we discussed it at a meeting this morning in  Stayton!

Subject: Re:  [or-roots] Oregonian Obit dated June 3, 1963



 
I was able to clip the wanted obituary from The Oregonian on 
_GenealogyBank.com_ (http://genealogybank.com/) . I sent it  directly to Dale. If anyone 
else wants a copy, I can forward it to you, too.  

If anyone is still unfamiliar with that subscription site, it is great  for 
obits and historical research. Their search engine is a bit quirky, and  
they don't have all newspapers. They do, however, have The Oregonian back  
into the 1860s.

Does anyone have access to this paper?  I am trying to find the  obituary 
of my Uncle's father which supposedly was in the Oregonian on  June 3, 1963.  
The name of the deceased was Noah Hardwick and I would  like to get a copy 
if possible to give to my uncle who is his only  surviving child.
