    Danni, after reading your post, I tried to attach a newspaper article from genealogybank to one of my ancestors too. When I checked his sources, the newspaper article was not there either. However, I found the newspaper article in my source box and I was able to attach it to him from there. Hope that helps.

    @Danni S Byers, you haven't told us how you tried to attach the obits from GenealogyBank, so it's hard to comment on why it didn't work.

    The terms of use for GenealogyBank are fairly specific and may have affect on your ability to attach the obit. I don't know that this is the case, but I quote from their terms of use: "Unless you have written permission from NewsBank, you shall reproduce and/or store only insubstantial portions of the Content, resulting from specific searches for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You shall not store or use, or allow to be stored or used, any portion of the Site or Content in a searchable database without expressed written permission to you from NewsBank and (if applicable) from NewsBank's respective content providers." [Italics are provided by me].

    FamilySearch does hold a collection, United States, GenealogyBank Obituaries, 1980-2014, that may have the information you are trying to attach. You might want to check that collection; if your family members are found there, you can easily attach their obituary.

    This collection is created in partnership with www.GenealogyBank.com. Records are being added to this collection periodically.

    DebArm2, thank you for your help! I didn't know I had a Source Box. As you said, the newspaper article was in my source box. I was able to create a source and attach it to the person. Now a link to the newspaper obit is on the person's page in their sources. Clicking on the source link took me back to the obit on the GenealogyBank website. I really appreciate you taking the time to find the solution to my "problem". 👍️ 😀
