David- You are NOT paying to access something that is free elsewhere--you can always search each newspaper's site and (if you can find the obits) view them there. What is part of the Ancestry subscription is the SEARCH ENGINE that FINDS this data for you and makes the job easier for you to find the obits. There is a vast difference.
