>From the GenealogyBank website you can see what newspapers are covered for what time periods. You can also search to see how many results there are. If the area you are searching is not well covered, you will not be happy with the subscription. If it is well covered there could be lots of bits of information that bring your ancestors alive for you. No one can answer whether it will be productive for you. If you try a search and think there might be some interesting information there, try a one month subscription. Be sure to make note of all the names and subjects you want to search during the short subscription time.

Genealogy Bank may or may not be a wonderful service. My issue which NorCal was to be commercial free to assist others. One of the main goals was to have a volunteers in each Northern California county to assist others. Genealogy Bank and others are now allowed to post their fee services which changes this forum.
