I need to see the document or at least get enough information from what's shown to know if I have the right person. I can not afford to pay everywhere! None of the "free trial" sites I've used have information on my brick walls so no point in paying there. I decided to leave my tree at ancestry, share information with a paid up cousin, and just wait a year or two before I pay again to see if anything else turns up for the people I can't find. I should take a class in beginning German while I wait! In the meantime if there is a promising shaking leaf I can check it out through her. It has forced me to research the same way I started; on line books, state web sites, GENWEB, and those sorts of places. Every now and then I find a clue. Very time consuming but free and I have more time than money. Once in a great while the message boards will produce something. Ancestry.com has some really good specials pretty often. That's what I use when I have a subscription.

I found other geneaology websites that are constantly upgrading and are becoming almost as good as Ancestry and cost far less than Ancestry. Their searches include all of the US census', Canadien census', United Kingdom' census', all birth, marriage and death records for all the above, and newspaper articles! I do prefer Ancestry.com but I wish they would lowere their price. I can't afford $39.00 a month anymore. I'm on a fixed income. Please Ancestry.com consider dropping your price? I'm sure you have so many customers, you could afford to do it! <br />Tealoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980275973617268291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-89307921016352216972013-06-09T11:44:46.351-06:002013-06-09T11:44:46.351-06:00bgwiehle, I won't use that option unless I am ...bgwiehle, I won't use that option unless I am absolutely positively beyond a shadow of a doubt certain that person is not mine. Too often when picking up a pile of knocked over papers I've found a really good clue that didn't look helpful when I found it but now that I know more, is the right family. It's a good thing my body isn't able to kick my own behind!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-23243755744661024952013-06-07T07:36:01.335-06:002013-06-07T07:36:01.335-06:00I like the potential option to filter by life stag...I like the potential option to filter by life stage - that will be very useful. (For immigrants, the location "slider" could include multi-national regions or a whole continent).<br />However, hiding results rejected by previous searches needs to be reviewed carefully. I've found myself revisiting many records, either because other information has shown it is a match after all, or because I am now looking for another person with the same name who does match that record.bgwiehlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00904956507742860598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-6154200000598242082013-06-07T07:12:15.529-06:002013-06-07T07:12:15.529-06:00The reason I use ancestry.com is for the documents...The reason I use ancestry.com is for the documents. GO! ancestry.com! Don't get sidetracked with making us all belong on the same tree. Anyone can make a list of people. I want to know about the individuals who became my ancestors.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.com
