On Monday, the Eastman Online Genealogy Newsletter made an announcement regarding America’s GenealogyBank, a major new online genealogical resource that will soon be launched by Newsbank.com. The database will contain millions of images of documents ranging from genealogy books to obituaries, local histories, and many other types of records. The records will be totally searchable, and amazingly, 99% of these records have never been available electronically and 50% have never been available on microfilm! It sounds as though this might be one of the biggest boons that Genealogy has seen since digitized censuses. Unfortunately, although this service is set to be formally announced this week, it is not scheduled to be available to the public until very late this year or perhaps early next year.
