    3. Let me emphasize that, as Robert has pointed out, there are other services which may be better than what I choose to use. And, as many of you will see if you try any of these free services, there are many errors. I am listed as living with friends and associates I never lived with, for example, and many phone numbers were disconnected long ago. But, the advantage of using these services is that they can make the hunt for relatives much easier, even if we are unable to find obituaries on people. I have no experience ordering the paid information offered by these services, so I do not know what it consists of. I have found myself able to locate relatives using just the free services alone. There are living people whose names or lifestyles will still make them elusive or even impossible to locate this way. But it is great when it does work. As some of you may know, Ancestry.com also has a public records search feature for the U.S. and also old phone directory listings. But many listers do not belong to it, so I did not mention it, although a friend likes it better than the free people search sites.

    3. Please do not apologize or feel you need to defend you r input! It is appreciated by many, I assure you!One never knows what may turn up using various search engines. I, myself , tend to get stuck using the same old search engines and need to get prodded at times to check out other sources. I have often found listings on the free searches that I never have found on ancestry. The list only benefits from everyones input. I, myself , would like to thank you!!
