I have been a member for 3 yrs. and tried their free trial sub. before that. I know some think it is expensive but considering the alternate ( travel and hunting) it is a great place to get info on your ancestors and finding them in the census records or on someones tree gives you knowledge of where you need to go to find original documentation if you are wanting to confirm beyond any doubt. I have found ancetors back to 1600's, conversed with persons involved with these folks about where they recieved their info and believe it to be true. I will continue to be a member because they are adding more info all the time and the more you use it the more you learn how to find more ancestors. Jack
