Genealogy Bank: What Is It?

Always trying to put together my family tree and ads for Genealogy Bank keep popping up.

What is it and how does it work?

A delightful phone call.......

Searching for a new and better mode for tree building I finally decided to call them up thinking one would encounter a robot and leave the endeavor without any useful information.

Wow, a very nice and knowledgeable lady answered and took time out of her busy day to chat with me and tell me how their system worked.

They have the usual Census information but they also have newspaper data from many sources.

They do not have a tree builder and one can cancel the comparatively inexpensive subscription at any time.

They do have easily accessed file folders to store and reuse the information one finds.

Here is the amazing part.....

This very experienced individual must have spent 10 minutes with me chatting about the pros and cons of the different genealogy websites, including their own, and how to best use them.

She went into detail about how she uses Family Search and her information was extremely useful to me.

Love Family Search, but admittedly it can be difficult to navigate even thought it has the most free information.

In conclusion......

Genealogy Bank should be proud of this very honorable individual who took time to chat with me and was honest about all of the Family Building sites out there.

In this day and age of robots and COVID isolation it was so lovely to chat without being quickly cut off and finding out things I could use.

It was remarkable.

It was so pleasant to just chat with someone who was telling me what I wanted to know and more.

Congrats to Genealogy Bank for their decision making in the way they run their company, their honesty and their choice of hiring very well informed employees.

Well done.
