FamilySearch sent out an invitation to me announcing that as a FamilySearch LDS member, I now have a free GenealogyBank.com account. Quoting from the GenealogyBank.com website:
GenealogyBank is a leading online genealogical resource from NewsBank, inc. Featuring a wealth of exclusive material-including modern obituaries and historical newspapers, books, pamphlets, military records, government documents and more-GenealogyBank helps you discover fascinating information about your family history.
GenealogyBank's 13,000+ historical newspapers include letters, speeches, opinion pieces, advertisements, hometown news, photographs, illustrations and more. These unique primary documents go beyond names and dates, providing first-hand accounts that simply aren't available from census or vital records alone. With GenealogyBank, you'll get a glimpse into the triumphs, troubles and everyday experiences of your American ancestors.
Look for an invitation in your email. I can't yet find GenealogyBank listed as a FamilySearch partner. Maybe I am the only one invited? You can try this link: Get Account Access
I haven't received the email yet either but I used the link you provided successfully. Thank you for the information!
ReplyDeleteI got it and it loaded right up. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI was successful in connecting my FamilySearch account with my paid GenealogyBank subscription from the link you provided. A few of my friends who tried signing up were not successful with their unpaid GenealogyBank subscriptions. I wonder if that could make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI also understand that FamilySearch isn't quite ready for members to connect their FemilySearch accounts with GenealogyBank until it appears on the PartnerAccess page at https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/partneraccess/
