I was searching the name BATZER and got over 500 hits nationally, and over 50 hits from The Sun. Of those, I would say 15 were useful. I feel the price of subscription was worth it since I also found out why by ggggrandfather was known as "City Hall" Batzer. He was appointed day watchman of City Hall in the 1880's. This was probably due to the fact he controlled a part of his Ward politically and brought in votes for the winning candidate. I plan to keep my subscription for at least 2 months for research, etc. If you need a lookup, let me know and I will try. You can save the articles as pdf's.
