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

On the right hand side, select Zoom. Make your selection and your on
your way.
Zoom will keep your style. I keep mine at Comic Sans. Zoom' has no

there any way to do a universal sort by the name events too? The Chronology

Thanks for your help. This list provides SO much more help than the help index!

I got an email the other day from them, but there doesn't seem to be any way to
find out what records they have in their collection. They've got some crummy
special going on--one month access for $12.95 (expires Jan 7, 2011), but I
didn't think it was all that special if they don't give us a
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 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.

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
Yes, I did subscribe about a month ago. I found that 99.5% of the
records that were useful to me were the newspapers.
However, what was not told to subscribers is you could only look for 10
surnames--you learn about this restriction after you've been in the site
for a little while. At some

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
has family histories from the Godfrey Memorial Library Collection (this is a

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.

I realized they do not have complete or up to date records.
e.g US Census, no 1930, other years, most states didn't have

I had far better luck
I had a subscription to WVR for a year and never really found it useful enough
to warrant the cost. Currently am accessing the site via the Legacy search with
modification to limit to BirthYear and DeathYear. I have found some records

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

I found worldvitalrecords.com helpful, particularly in finding references in
books. Footnote.com was great for Census records and Civil War and
Revolutionary War records.
The LDS website is fantastic, but it is buyer beware. I say this as a lot

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.
