Many of us once belonged to Godfrey Library for its remote access to certain records. What you stated about Newsbank is a bunch of bunk. What is the clinical reason for the change?

NYG&B members may access to the database through our website as usual until August 31. This is unfortunate as it was one of the big perks of membership. Perhaps many of you subscribe to Newsbank and can give us the details. The Early American Newspapers run from the earliest in our country (before it was USA) up to about 1820 with some a little further. New York state has one of the biggest runs of newspapers, and it has been truly amazing how much data I have accumulated about ordinary male ancestors who were involved in business plus the marriages and deaths of both men and women in my family. New York city area is particularly rich. -- Elizabeth ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
