Yeah, I love and hate that site. Love it because my husband has West Virginia roots. Hate it because all too often the important fields are blank <grin>.

NOT to throw-off on either Godfrey or the newspaper collection, but as a reality-check: Smalltown papers generally ran to being a 4-pg paper. Open up a copy of the Washington POST or the New York TIMES or the SF CHRONICAL, remove one sheet of paper. That's a 4-page newspaper. Pg 1 was generally one national-level story occupying the column on the free edge, perhaps a regional level blurb half or less of the column beside it, and --until roughly 1900-- advertisements. Pg 2 was the masthead, editorials, some what we now know as op-eds, perhaps a letter to the editor, and whatever else filled up the space --travel, religion, education; generally, very few ads on this page. Pg 3 was where the Personals/truly local news appeared. Even there, as much as 2 columns of the 6 were classifieds. Pg 4 was mostly ads -- some display, some classified-- with sometimes 6 or 8 inches of non-advertising quite often a morality tale for the edification of Young Minds. pp 2 and 4 were _more_ likely to have items of local interest (i.e., the gossip columns) after an election issue, or after the county budget/audit for the year were printed as each of those filled two pages of their issue, pushing most other stuff into the next issue. OTOH, what you find in those 3 columns per issue can be PRICELESS in many ways. (g) Cheryl (Whose experience with small town newspapers includes extracting 50yrs worth of one.)

So, I joined "Vital Records" at their site on a monthly basis this weekend for $5.95 and I can cancel at any time. I thought I'd try it for a month or so and see if it is worth it.

The second (Blue) level gives access to their various databases plus NewspaperArchive.com at $65. That's what I have had this past year. The third level (Green) offers World Vital Records instead of NewspaperArchive.com at $80, and the $110 (Gold) level offers both. Since there already are a number of vital record links in the basic membership, I wondered what additional vital records I might expect for an additional $45. I contacted Godfrey and the following is what they replied about World Vital Records-- Exclusive Data from Everton Publishers - Provides exclusive data from Everton including over 200 issues of the Genealogical Helper Magazine (1946-2006). That is more than 40,000 pages of information to help you with your genealogy! They have also indexed more than 3.6 million names from Everton's pedigree files and family group sheets. Also included is access to the historic Everton Library, plus they add new data every month. This information is not available anywhere else online. SmallTownPapers® Collection - Discover your ancestors like never before.the people, places and events as reported in real time in their local newspaper. World Vital Records was selected to provide access to this archive of exclusive newspaper content, not available from any other genealogy source! This gives you access to a completely searchable digital archive that features small-town newspapers back to 1846. They currently offer nearly 1 million pages from this unique archive, and are adding more than 100,000 pages each month! Quintin CDROM Library - Get access to more than 10,000 exclusive databases that would cost over $4000 if you purchased the CDs separately! These will be coming online over the next few months. These are valuable and hard-to-find materials from many different sources.

Does Godfrey have information that Ancestry does not have? Or, if any of you are Texans, does it have information that TexShare does not have? Thanks-- Donna

I'm not certain that she still has the last name of Smiley. That was her surname in 1949. Smiley isn't the surname of her parents so I am assuming that it is a married name. Her age is between 77 and 87. She wouldn't be on the California birth index under that surname as it is probably her married name. I don't know her middle name.

I can only find the family that Bruce found - they aren't in the 1870 that I can find, but the older William Haney and his wife are in Monongalia County, WV in the 1880 Federal Census. No children living with them, though. My husband has some Haneys in his line, and one thing we've found over the years is that enumerators could be most creative when spelling the name and indexers even more creative in spelling it when the enumerator had bad or fancy handwriting. We've seen it as Haney, Hainey, Hainy, Hanie, and Hany to name the most common. Is there a middle initial given for Mary? Where did she die? Does the death record show where she's buried? What was her husband's name?
