GenealogyBank – FREE eBooks on Select Research Topics

GenealogyBank – FREE eBooks on Select Research Topics

I love newspapers!  They bring so much color to the research I do as well as sometimes provide me with “evidence” that might not be found elsewhere.

I associate GenealogyBank with newspapers.  That is a happy association.

Though GenealogyBank is a subscription service, to get you “hooked” on how valuable newspapers can be to your research (really not too much effort needed to get us interested and we all have a budget we have to work to!), they also have produced some eBooks that look at various ways that newspapers might help you with your research. 

·        Tearing Down Your Brick Walls – Removing Roadblocks in Genealogy Research

·        Birth Announcements: Published in Newspapers – A Valuable Genealogy Resource

·        Marriage Records Found in Newspapers: Engagement, Marriage, Anniversary and Divorce Records

·        Historical Advertising: Missing, For Sale, Wanted & More – Gain Insights Into Your Ancestors’ Lives

It makes me wish I was Thomas Jay Kemp, the author of these eBooks so I could write about the juicy finds contained in newspapers!



What other subscription databases/services also have some FREE resources to benefit family historians?
