I noticed the problem with Ancestry.com - I'm new to this and do not subscribe to Ancestry. Do you consider it a good resource? I've hesitated to join, but the census data looks very enticing. Would appreciate any feedback about its usefulness. Also - still looking for George Washington Martin's parents, families, any connection - probably b abt. 1889 Georgetown SC, son of J.M. Martin. In north Florida by 1910, died abt. 1935 in Florida - probably New Smyrna/Volusia County area. Married Minnie Ola Tyson daughter of James Tyson of Georgia. They married at Lk Como FL in 1910 - wedding announcement says their families lived in Pomona FL. No information about siblings, parents, etc. Thanks for the help Susan

Susan, Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com, are in my opinion, taken together, are two of the best genealogical main resources on the web. Of course, ancestry now owns rootsweb. Rootsweb is free, but certain databases in ancestry require a membership fee..I believe it is about $60 for an annual membership--this will also let you look at the Census indexes---if you want to look at the actual census images they are developing, I believe thats another $40. But if you plan to do a lot of census work, it would be well worth it, unless you have access to a major library that has all the censuses on microfilm. Even then, it is a lot easier to look at the scanned images up on your computer at home!

I as just told that Ancestry .com is $90.00 but I could be wrong Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Gilmer" <jimgilmer@alaweb.com> To: <MARTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 2:59 PM Subject: RE: [MARTIN-L] Re: MARTIN-D Digest V01 #120 > Susan, > > Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com, are in my opinion, taken together, are two of > the best genealogical main resources on the web.
