I would sign up for every list I can find, look under Local Names for your county, pull up every site that anybody lists on the lists for surnames, etc. I would be willing to bet you will be shocked at how much information you can get and how helpful everyone is. I have found ancestors back to 1800's and haven't paid a dime! Good luck! (Think of it as a bargain, you enjoy it more when you get a good deal, and free is always GOOD!!)
