GenealogyBank adds 4 million records - 120+ newspapers go live this morning

GenealogyBank is one year old this week and is celebrating for two weeks by adding a record amount of content.

This morning GenealogyBank added over 4 million records – some 123 newspapers from 30 States.

Anyone may search the GenealogyBank site for FREE and see a portion of the page where the search terms appear. This let's you know if your ancestors are in there - and yes, to see the entire page - you do need to join. It is also offering a special "anniversary" price - $69.95 (offer good through Monday, November 5, 2007).

It added newspapers like:
Bridgeport (CT) Republican Farmer 4/25/1810 to 8/11/1876
Milwaukee (WI) Sentinel 1/29/1795 to 12/30/1865
Boston (MA) Evening Transcript 1/1/1842 to 12/31/1856
Tucson (AZ) Daily Citizen 10/15/1870 to 1/26/1890
Hartford (CT) Daily Courant 10/29/1889 to 10/25/1914

I should add that after more than 40 years working in libraries I was asked to create GenealogyBank - so I am passing this along not only as news - but as a proud parent celebrating his kid's first birthday.

Here is this week's title list. Next week GenealogyBank will add even more.
