It is well worth while to sign up for Ancestry if you have American ancestors. The census are easy to use ,pages load fast (on cable ) you can search for a name at search page and it gives you County ,town and page number on census . You will not find all people you are looking for this way but a far amount and it makes the search easier. I signed up for the Quarterly after the 3 months they send an e-mail telling you that there are 2 weeks remaining and if you don't notify they will renew ,then you will receive a phone call and be asked if you want to renew . The phonecallers are pleasant and there is no pressure whatsoever to subscribe again. I definitely got my moneys worth (stayed up late quite a few nights searching though) Linda Harper
