Yes; All responses so far have been correct, as far as I know. Having served on our local county library advisory board for a while, I am aware the cost of providing Ancestry and other such database services to the public can be quite expensive. It is hundreds of times more in cost than an individual basic subscription for one year. But the benefits come for the library when more people begin to use their facilities in order to access the use of those databases. And I'm sure the expense will not seem warranted if the "hits" on those resources start dropping in number. Our library system here in Osceola County Florida has been extremely receptive to us in the genealogy community for the past few years, and we show our gratitude by donating volunteer time, publications, microfilm, etc. to the collection. We can access all from library facility computers, including Ancestry. However, we can also use some of the resources from home, such as HeritageQuest, American obituaries and newspapers, and other general informational options. Bottom line, I guess, is we all need to really investigate just what is available to us not only from the LDS family history centers and main library, but also the public libraries and possibly also some private ones. I'm always surprised when someone indicates on a very popular mailing list (like this one) that there is "nothing" to help them. Perhaps they just haven't looked real well. Ann
