Hi Randy,
I've been a subscriber to GenealogyBank for a few months now and have used the site with great success. The only thing that disappoints me is that GenealogyBank does not provide a complete source citation for America's Obituaries. When I record newspaper sources, I include the volume, number, edition, and page number, none of which are included in the source information for America's Obituaries. But, at least I have the obituary, even if I don't have a complete source citation from the site.
I tried signing in to GenealogyBank last night about 11 p.m. and it was so slow that I finally gave up. Just tried again a few minutes ago and now get a message that the login and password are inactive. If I were to hazard a guess it would be that their server got swamped and couldn't handle the traffic. Too bad, I'd really like to try before I buy!
