Question:
Ancestory Web Sites Good/Bad ?
I was thinking of joining one of those sites where it'll find your ancestors. I went to ancestory.com to view a few samples of family trees, prices, etc. My questions for those who are members of sites like this are:
1 - Is it worth the price to become a member of these sites
2 - Can non members of the site view a "family tree" that I create
3 - Does being a paying member of the site actually enhance the capabilities of my "family tree"
4 - What if I don't know the names / places / birth years of anyone past my grandparents?
These are just some of the questions I have before paying money to these sites. I viewed some free samples of the ancestory.com family trees, and they go really deep into the family tree, but I don't know the names of people past my grandparents. But is that the whole idea of joining a website like this? Does the website search for people I don't know and their birth information for me
Any information, suggestions would be greatly appreciate

Wow !! I know I just posted this question a few hours ago, but after reading the few answers from you all, I think I"m going to change my mind and not pay to be a member of these. I don't know much about my family past my grandparents, and to me it wouldn't be worth it. I thought it was a lot easier than this, but that's why I posted the question here. Thanks to all for saving me some $$$.
