Hi Elizabeth, I also have Ancestry.Com; and it was extremely slow downloading the images with a modem. I changed to RoadRunner to eliminate this problem. I would have added DSL because it is less expensive, but it is not yet available here. This solution is expensive ($45/month), but it has saved me a lot of time and money over traveling to the library. The indexes are a problem , but browsing is easier with the change from the modem, however between Emma and me we are apt to have the E.D & page #'s and probably the image number of most Ivester descendants. Please feel free to ask.

I have an Ancestry subscription, but find that searching the census records is very frustrating. The indexes are often faulty, and the images are slow to load and manipulate. I would happily spring for a better alternative! -- Elizabeth Harris ncgen@mindspring.com NCGenWeb project: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/ Winston-Salem NC area genealogy: http://www.fmoran.com/ ==== IVESTER Mailing List ==== REMEMBER: This list is intended for friendly interaction among subscribers.
