It helped me — I discovered two articles about my great uncle in Tisdale, Saskatchewan.
If you use newspapers in your family history research this addition substantially increases the value of a MyHeritage subscription.

Just curious, if you don't mind me asking, who your great uncle is. I am familiar with the Tisdale area.
Patrick: His name was John A D Barnett, later Cochrane Barnett. He came from England, enlisted in the CEF in 1914 and was totally blinded in France. He went to Tisdale and took up a soldier land grant but didn't last long returning to England to stay around the end of 1920 or early 1921. There are a couple of newspaper items and the land grant records as well as his service file.
