I wondered about this site myself but gave it a try anyways. I did a one month pass and found loads of old newspaper articles on our family members; Traum, Zanzinger, Graffenberger, Otruba and Neugebauer's from Pennsylvania. Although many of my immediate relatives are from Ohio...they did not have any useful "Ohio" newspapers for me yet but I struck gold with the newspapers from Pennsylvania of which they have recorded.

Some of the article that I found on our family members dated back to before 1930! I even found articles showing my Great Grandmother had spent six months visiting in Pennsylvania and my aunt and uncle from Ohio going there to pick her up and take her back to Ohio. Although her name was misspelled in the article it is clear that it is my Great Grandmother and Aunt Ann and Uncle Frank from here in Cleveland!

I found Emil and his wife's death notices and I even found this article describing their daughter, Josephine's birthday party (Look at all the names I am now researching!):

We could not find any information on Henry and Emil's brother, Paul Traum but after using newspaperarchives.com I was able to see newspaper articles which mention him. I also found out that Paul had fallen and was taken to a hospital in 1930. The article even gave me his address! Here are just two of the articles I found on Paul Traum:

Monday, January 20, 1930
Chester Times, Chester, PA:

Some articles tell of their vacations, travels, parties, births, marriage licenses, wedding, deaths, etc. Even an article telling of Emil and Paul's fishing trip!

Tuesday, August 3, 1926
Chester Times, Chester, PA:
Milmont
Aemel and Paul Traum, brothers, of Forest avenue, spent the weekend on a fishing trip in Maryland.

And after searching everywhere for Paul Traum's death date I found this article:

Tuesday, February 5, 1935
Chester Times, Chester, PA:
Traum - We wish to extend sincere thanks to friends, relatives and neigbors for kindness, floral offerings and use of automobiles at the death of our brother and uncle, Paul Traum. EMIL Traum AND FAMILY

My husband and our kids recently took a trip to Pennsylvania and visited Emil (and his family) and Paul Traum's graves at Holy Cross Cemetery. We even found the houses mentioned in the newspaper articles and took pictures of them to share with family. We met a neighbor and he took us down the street to where a Traum was still living!!! We left a letter in his mailbox to contact us. In doing further research I discovered that this living Traum is Emil Traum's son's son!!!

So you see it is well worth the money especially if the newspaper from where you are searching has been recorded to the site. I would highly recommend you give newspaperarchives.com a try! It is not a scam and may prove to be your link to your past!!! Who knows, maybe you will find a pot of gold there like I did!
