I have read with interest all of the comments, pro and con to these subscriptions. Now for my own experience. I have a subscription to both services for the census and also some other data, and am very satisfied. As has been stated, some years are indexed on each service. I have had very good luck finding hundreds of families in all census years. If they aren't indexed, I just search the old fashioned way, that is browse, page by page. Sure it is slow, but what good research isn't time consuming. Sure there are errors in the index, but what type record doesn't have errors? Like all sources, we normally expect more than we get. The transcribed records from most all sources have errors. Our own records probably contain errors that we made. Prior to on-line census capability, I was spending about $150 a year to rent microfilm, so my subscription money is well spent and I don't have to wait two weeks to get a film. I can hop from place to place on-line, all in the same day. As to which one is best, you can decide. Ancestry.com has all census images on line. Genealogy.com is heading that way, but not there yet. If you are going to subscribe to only one, probably the one that has indexed the years you are most interested in would be best for you. Each have some good indexes, both contain errors. When one of them gets all years indexed, I will probably drop the other one. I am researching the following names in Fulton county. COOPER, RUTLEDGE & FULLER. Would like to hear from anyone interested in these names. I would be happy to answer specific questions about the above mentioned on-line services. Bob Robert Fuller [email protected] Why Wait?
