To all of you really great people that sent me the census lookups: What I am searching for is a child; a Mary Susan/Susan Mary Duncan/Dunkin that would have appeared as age 3-4 in the 1860 census. Depending of course, what month the census was taken. >From various different records I have it that she was born in: a)Morgan county b) Owen county c) Putnam county Her birthdate was October 12, 1856. Any help is greatly appreciated. She married in Putnam county, her son later stated in his marriage app that she was born in Morgan county, but almost ALL of the Duncan/Dunkins were in Owen county.She died in Monroe county.

Debbie, you listed Asher in "associated families" after the Baldon query. What Ashers do you have in your tree? I have John Asher and his wife Jane Curry as direct ancestors. I'd like to find out more about any collateral lines. Nancy Pundsack

I have John C. Weatherly, b. 18 Jan 1831, d, 22 Sep 1908; m. to Mary Magdalene Fulks, no more info on her. They had a son named John Irvin, b. 1858. I got this info from Genealogy Library. John was the son of James Andrew Weatherly and Charity Roark. There is more info on them under this web site (genealogylibrary.com). But I think you have to be a member. If you need more info, please let me know. Debra Vogel dvogelv@aol.com

I've been a subscriber to both Ancestry and GenealogyLibrary. I don't think it's fair to say one is better than the other, they are different. For example, GenealogyLibrary has many vital records for Indiana. These are the official county records that were transcribed as part of the WPA project. Those marriage records were very helpful to me. The 1850 census was disappointing for me, though, because they still don't have Ohio. Ancestry says they will have all the census records by the end of March. Also, Ancestry is only 59.95 for the regular subscription, then another 39.93 for the census subscription. Shelley

Larry, I have to agree with the ancestry.com supporters. I've been a member for over a year and have been very delighted with the site. I am also a member of FTM, but find that I frequent ancestry 90% more than FTM as I've found so much more information (resource wise). Obviously you don't want to depend on someone elses research, but you can view Gedcom's for free with ancestry. There is a wealth of resources there also. Not to mention that they are attempting to upload census images of all census' 1790-1920 (only the 1790 and part of the 1920 is up thus far). To me it's worth the extra cost to have access to any census! My pet peeve about FTM is that their CD's are costly and they do not freely share information that other people have researched. I'm not willing to put all the work into my research so that another company can profit from it. As I said, I'm a member of both but if your going for one, I would recommend ancestry.

Ancestry.com has transcriptions of the original documents on line so you can go to the source for your information, not rely on someone else's information which may or may not be based on fact.

Good morning, While reluctant to weigh in on this query, you have given me an opportunity to mount my soapbox - and being powerless to resist I succumb <grin> I have been a paying member of Ancestry.com for several years. I also was a donor to Rootsweb before it was acquired by Ancestry - or it's parent. I elected to support these two entities for no other reason than as a protest of Family Tree Maker/Broderbund - or whatever ilk - policy of soliciting individual researchers efforts to publish in their WFT product. I was an early implementer of Family Tree Maker - when it was the only Windows based genealogy software. I was also an early subscriber to the FTM web site. As a result I was also one of the first to be solicited for my family research. For whatever reason I was not ready to publish my work at that time. Sadly I soon realized that FTM had no idea of making the works of my colleagues freely available to other researchers at no cost. Indeed not only was there a charge - but a ridiculously exorbitant charge for nothing more than collection and indexing of the collected data. Contrast that approach to that taken by Ancestry.com - and Rootsweb. It has always been the stated policy of Ancestry to always make available - at no cost - any data submitted to its family tree. Indeed - I have routinely downloaded gedcom data published at either of these sites; and have yet to be charged for the information. My paid membership at Ancestry.com allows me access to an ever growing library of data - data which as someone else has pointed out - shows me where to go and locate the documentation to support my assertion that C was the son of B who was the son of A. Contrast that to the often inaccurate and spurious "facts" published by FTM in its published product. <smile> see I told you I would hit the soapbox. In closing I imagine that you will be satisfied with either product. You now know why I make the decision to remain with Ancestry! @W@ At 06:51 AM 2/1/2001, Larry Copley wrote: >Hi All >I'm considering joining one of the fee sites.

One other thing regarding the fee sites: Although I don't subscribe to either one I do use them occassionally. When there was an offer made to listowners for free subscription to the Ancestry.com site when they merged with Rootsweb I thought, "this is great". However, on actually accessing and using the site, I found more and more often that what they were purporting to have in various areas, in reality turned out to be only a reference to what book I could find the info in. Instead of having the actual info as they make out to. Also with the FamilyTreemaker site there is the option, should you desire, to create your own webpage on your family history. And FamilyTreemaker has access to many volumes of books. However, something I would caution on is that simply because any data is on either of these sites, doesn't make it true. Many persons submit trees,etc to many paid sites and the accuracy of the info is only as good as their sources. You could well be reading data submitted by a person who simply "grabs" whatever possibilities are presented instead of documenting prior to making these "facts" public. I find it much better to go with persons I know and trust insofar as their research techniques and documenting habits are concerned. There are many good items at Ancestry.com such as the maps, the library and other items. However, these are items along with the trees that can be accessed free of charge. Along with the new databases offered that are free for the first 10 days.
