Yes , you bet Ancestry charges us for whatever you can get from them. They put their link out in many places and also send out days for free for certain items. Then when you find a name there and try to get it, they make you subscribe for them 2 free weeks free time. Then that isn't all with that, as they will if you don't unsubscribe by letting them know you don't want to stay after the 2 weeks free time BEFORE the 2 or 3 days that it is over, they will take your money for whatever you filled out for if they have a credit card number.. I have seen where some have had problems over this. Just don't give them a credit card number and they can't go ahead and get your money if you don't want them. Best thing to do is send them a American Express Money order for the time you want, then they can't continue you if you don'/t want to stay.. Many libraries are connoted to Ancestry and also there many people who don't have just SS to live on and can and do subscribe and are happy to look something up for you. Someone also told me they now have a program way , that you can go in with another r person and each pay half or go together on a subscription period and get to it that way. I have never checked on this but several have told me this. Would be nice if it is one way to get it. I would not give them or any place as such my only card number anyway but just send it by mail.
