Help! I'm trying to figure out which is a better buy: ancestry.com or genealogy.com I currently have subscription to ancestry.com but am wondering if I should switch to genealogy.com Anyone have opinions on which is better? -- Sandy (Whalen) Bauer http://www.whalen-family.org "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - What a Ride!"

Just another option or thoughts. I rent the LDS original census microfilms for a small amount at the Family History Centers and read the original photgraphed census records myself. I do not trust transcribed census, there are usually mistakes in the transcriptions. When I can't read a word etc. I trace the microfilm screen image on thin paper and am usually able to figure it out later. Watch how each census taker of each census you read writes each letter, it gives clues to help in reading the films also.
