from "Genealogy Bank" this past March. Of course, you have to sign up for it, which I did. Got a month free, I think.

I found some cool newspaper articles, and a couple of photos, but after a few weeks of searching, there really wasn't a whole lot on most of the family so I canceled.

Ancestry.com has name groups you can search (I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a member) for possible relatives. That's actually how I got most of the photos I have for a particular branch of my family...I connected with a cousin who forwarded a bunch of photos to me that she had.

Just a couple of ideas....
