The paper isn't as good as I hoped, but it's still another valuable resource. There were not many birth, marriage, and death announcements (probably about 10-20% of my family's events were in there). There were some announcements of divorces which could come in handy. The most interesting thing was just seeing articles about events around that time, like the Polish church openings, etc. At least I know of *one* place that has this database - hopefully, we'll find some others.
