The one for a then-as-yet unnamed son (Sohn) matched a date of birth and parental names I already had from family sources, but this German newspaper search engine brought me documentary evidence of the place of birth -- which until then had been in dispute. How many American newspapers would be running birth announcements for average citizens in 1834??<br /><br />Geburtsanzeigen und Anzeigen von Geburtstagsjubläen aus unterschiedlichen Regionen<br />Nachname: Moll <br />Vorname: Sohn <br />Geburtsdatum: 09.04.1834 <br />Geburtsort: Perleberg <br />Vater: Kaufmann F.

After what I thought was fairly extensive search comparisons, it looked as though I was finding a bit more on genealogybank.com, but for the most part the content was similar. <br /><br />I've yet to decide if I'm going to add (or switch to) newspapers.com to my list of subscription services. I think they definitely deserve a look from anyone with an interest.Kristenhttp://www.tarheelroots.comnoreply@blogger.com
