Perhaps this will change as FamilySearch evolves.<br /><br />I do very much like the ability to search foreign records at FamilySearch without the additional cost burden of upgrading my current Ancestry account.Jack Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649768599179736262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-32672255488328888392011-10-24T10:43:54.259-06:002011-10-24T10:43:54.259-06:00I used to ignore FamilySearch and focused on Ances...I used to ignore FamilySearch and focused on Ancestry, figuring a free site wouldn't have as many records. What I have discovered, though, is that FamilySearch has some of its own strengths. It has some US vital records that Ancestry does not have, and it is much better at coverage for countries that are not commercially viable for Ancestry. For example, I was able to find a friend's grandfather's death record from the Philippines on FamilySearch, along with some records from Mexico for another friend.Lemuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130002664671348674noreply@blogger.com
