Hello - Just wondering if it's worth it to subscribe to Ancestry.com? No, I'm not trolling (I know this is touchy to some people) - legitimate question! Most of my family came to the US from Poland, through Ellis Island in the 1880s and 1890s, and mostly settled in Wisconsin. Seems that the only thing that a subscription to Ancestry.com would get me is the 1920 Census info (which, certainly is convenient, but I'm not convinced it's worth the $$ - I could just go to the Family History Library in town). Please, can someone tell me: What are The American Genealogical- Biographical Index, the PERSI and Genealogical Library Master Catalog, and what can they do for my situation, if anything? I don't see anything else that could help me, since my family wasn't here between 1790 and 1870. Am I missing something? What else does the subscription have to offer? I was going to try the Free 14-day trial subscription, but now that I hear that it might be problematic to unsubscribe, I'm wondering whether it's even worth the effort to do that. Guess I just don't know what I can get from a subscription to Ancestry.com, that I don't already have access to, which could actually help me find my ancestors. Can someone please help me? TIA, -- Smile!!

Of course that doesn't help if yours isn't one of them. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
