Ancestry.com is similar to a utilities monopoly, they own everything (genealogy wise) and you're virtually out of luck unless you want to pay their enormous yearly dues. Being the cheap sort, when I absolutely have no option but to check Ancestry.com, I drive to my local library (for which I pay taxes) and use their access. Just a thought.

You should check out FamilySearch.org - they have 3.5 billion records - free online. Ancestry is great - I use it daily.
