Please don't pay for material that is free.... Below is a letter I received today. If you are inclined to spend the "$79.99 Recurring 3-Month Rate" (from the home page of this organization), I URGE you to look into the company before using their service. It appears that work available for free on-line is being sold under the guise of FamilyDiscovery.com ... I tried to contact them but all links to their e-mail are "unavailable" ... but I noticed that some data we have linked to on the Ottawa County Page http://www.macatawa.org/~brianter/genweb.htm appears to be accessed through this group. For example, they have posted http://www.macatawa.org/~devries/Earlym.htm on their pages.... as their own work! Please do your research before paying for something you should be able to access for free.
