I beg to differ with you, I prefer Heritage Quest for census. It is true that all census they have are not indexed but I have been able to find everything I was looking for with them. I have it free through my local library. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 9:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MAWORCES] which has the best genealogy The best subscription Ancestry.com has is their census subscription for only $99.00 a year. This is a goldmine. I have found more important finds in my census research, than in any other source. So cheap at less than $10 a month. So much better than Heritage Quest online censuses too (which I also use - their page scans are sometimes better than ancestry's). I will never be without this as long as I continue doing research! Many people are unaware you can get this subscription separate from the whole package. You can then add to it at a discounted rate per each additional data base you want.

And they have alot of information. I would say in the last two years they have tripled in Price. They have old newspapers and biographies. I think they are the better BUT they are costly now. When I started it was about $39.95 for 6 months of research. I do not know what they cost right now but I do know it has gone way up. There are other sites as well. There is Trees.com. The Mormons have a free site and it is: www.familysearch.com Genealogy.com is good also BUt I think ancestry.com has more tools to work with.
