Susan et al, The ancestry thing is different than the information I posted. As far as ancestry, a friend of mine has gotten around the "charge you part" by telling them they did not have a credit card, (which they don't) and telling them her husband doesn't allow her to give her checking information over the internet. It takes a couple of phone calls, but they do allow you access without giving them financial information.
