I just took out a 1-mo subscription to a new service called Genealogybank.com. It has thousands of newspapers, books and historical documents and I'm hoping to get through it in 30 days! I did a search for Gorin and there are 2,200 references in the newspapers - all different ones from what I've had access to before. Of course, there are some false hits for Igor Gorin (the late baritone), football players, and even the word coin will sometimes trigger a hit. I've gotten thru 50 pages or 500 references so far and just got weary. I printed off everything that was new and here is a quick synopsis: (The newspapers go back to 1797). Drowning of Henry Franklin Gorin from Philadelphia in Logan Co = gave me full date and why he was back in KY, 1861. (John Gorin line) Moving of the body of Helen Gorin (Gladin's line) From New Orleans to Waco X 1912. Death of Ella Gorin in Fort Worth TX 1916 (Gladin's line) Death of Ella above from a different paper. Mention of Lewis Jefferson Gorin Sr at school in Lexington KY, 1901 (John's line) M.
