Pat, before you spend a lot of money on genealogical websites, you might want to try some other alternatives. Many large city libraries have a subscription to Ancestry and Heritage Quest that they provide free to their patrons. You can access them in-Library or at home by using your Library card number. Just go to their website and look for the Ancestry and Heritage Quest logos in their "Databases" section. In addition, many libraries who have a large "genealogy research" patronage provide special access to their patrons at no cost. It may require a lot of searching, but you can usually come up with access somewhere. From time to time I have been able to get in through the Batesville Indiana library and the Falmouth Mass library. You may first want to see what is required in way of a library card or an ID for access. But it is usually worth the effort.....Harold B. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Pat Brewer" <epbrewer@fmtc.com> Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2010 8:29 PM To: "Arizard@rootsweb.com" <arizard@rootsweb.com> Subject: [ARIZARD] Ancestry - Help > > A few weeks ago some of us were discussing Ancestry, the pros and cons. > Someone said they had just subscribed, but was able to get a cheaper rate > than was shown on the screen.
