Bill,
Have you tried going to the World Vital Records home page. A listing of what
they have is right on the home page in plain sight. Not hidden at all.

Thanks for the great detail! If I'm understanding this correctly, you would

I forgot about Godfrey Memorial Library. I used to belong to them several
years ago, but when they lost access to a lot of databases due to ProQuest
raising their rates they had to be dropped. What they were left with after
that was very little and not worth the subscription so I dropped it.
I get newspaperarchives.com through my local library website for free.
And you are correctI found my grandma's obituary and it gave me many
clues to unanswered questions!

Some libraries and local LDS may belong to some of these databases. Then you
can use their 'free' connection, to determine if there is enough to use at
their place, or order for at home. Each DB (Ancestry, World, NFS, etc) is
growing and adding new records daily. What you need to do is decide wh

Until I have "seen" the source, it is not mine to cite. By citing a source,
whether in my genealogy or other research, at I am representing to other

Hi all,
I can't speak for anyone else but WVR is available online through our
local library web site, and it's free, all you need is a library card.
I have no idea if the database is the same as the pay one though, but I
have had some success with it.

In a nutshell, yes it is normal. When sorting Events only one sort is

Yvonne,
I have searched for hours on WVR and have not been limited in any way on
newspapers or other records. The newspapers at WVR are from
Newspaper.Archives that you mention. I also forgot to mention that WVR also

However, what was not told to subscribers is you could only look for 10

for a little while. At some point
Don,
It depends upon what you are looking for and where. I viewed the available
database listing before I subscribed. After that I found land and probate
records, family histories and so on, not available at other sites. On some
searches it may come up with something on Footnote (I have a subscrip
I want to thank all who responded to my query. The consensus seems to be
that anything on WVR.com is probably available somewhere else free.
Thanx again,

There is another recent post on auto-sorting events by name that made me aware
of this feature. Up to now I was manually sorting (by date). When I use the
option to sort by name it seems to ignore the date. That is, the dates within
an event are not sorted chronologically. For example, I get:
I have accessed WVR at the local Family History Library and have never

I got an email the other day from them, but there doesn't seem to be any way to

I know that we can sort events by the date through the file maintenance tab
and that we can sort by the event names in the Individual's screen but is
there any way to do a universal sort by the name events too? The Chronology

Select the bottom two, and make sure your date range is correct. As a
matter of fact, I did not check any boxes and made sure the date range
is correct and it still shows on the Chronology tab. I'm sure that Obama
