So I use it mostly for other states.<br /><br />And the Arkansas thing is really not the fault of any subscription service. Arkansas is hopelessly locked into the paper and microfilm thing in one of many bricks and mortar buildings. Apparently, we ain't gonna digitize our stuff, and we ain't gonna let anyone else do it either...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-22953614277888220152011-07-25T18:05:29.972-07:002011-07-25T18:05:29.972-07:00I've found it useful for finding living people...I've found it useful for finding living people.

It might be worth giving it a try for a while - everything depends on whether they have newspapers in the right areas during the right time periods.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-66451368634321219742011-07-25T14:09:47.734-07:002011-07-25T14:09:47.734-07:00I have subscriptions at ancestry and footnote but ...I have subscriptions at ancestry and footnote but haven't tried Genealogy Bank yet.
