Everything was fine UNTIL it asked for my Credit Card information in order to check it out. Yes, I know I will only be billed if I decide to keep the subscription after the free trial - but it is up to me to kill it. No thank you!

Yea I would definitely not subscribe.

imo There is no guarantee of enough research material there for anyone's particular area,
in order to make it worth while .

but each area has "Sample Images" you can view for free.

I figure it doesn't hurt to view those samples just in case there is a lead

Example, Lead from 1899 Shenandoah, PA paper



I now know there were live Pigeon Shoots at Bicycle Park in Mahanoy City,
and already know live shoots Brought Live under the table Gambling & cheating, & Brawls, & dropped $$$$

A little research, I should be able to locate Bicycle park.
& where it is or used to be.

Former Pigeon Shooting sites, although loaded with Brass
have been "berry, berry good to me! "
