Ancestry is receiving a bashing on many of the lists over the last couple of days. Everyone's opinion being their own and for what its worth I have found ancestry well worth the money because I can access records in states where I'd never be capable of getting to without them. I have subbed for the last 3 years and will continue my subscription. I began searching 30 years ago when it wasn't easy to travel between geographical locations....much less from state to state. Ancestry who merged with rootsweb GIVES us the opportunity to freely use the lists and search thousands of records in rootsweb in an effort to pursue a hobby or in some cases a profession. Thanks to ancestry I was able to break down a 30 year old brick wall which would never have happened otherwise...my family had moved from S. Carolina to Kentucky, to Indiana, to Illinois then back to Tennessee...how else would I have ever known? Joyce G.

Amen! Ancestry is well worth TWICE the price. I think some of these people who complain against Ancestry haven't had to drive 170 miles one way to the genealogical library, feed countless quarters in the copier and microfilm machines. Try paying the dues at the local genealogical society and all the other money we put out. Ancestry is under-charged!
