Hi Jean, If you follow the links on both Ancestry and Genealogy you end up at the same place: MyFamily.com Inc. This company bought out both these companies and I believe others. I personally think you will find more contacts and relatives, using the various free bits of both these sites than paying for things. Also it's been said that you can often find the same thing for free somewhere else. Or Some Kind Soul will raid their own records for you. You reciprocate by helping other people. -- Mike Yegwart
