Question:

Opinions please on geneology sites?

For those of you who have tried them, which site do you think is a better buy and has more information and why? It is a toss up for me to subscribe to geneology.com or ancestory.com.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I have a membership to Ancestry.com and have found the information to be invaluable. Another membership I have that has been wonderful and is "dirt cheap" has been to the godfrey library.

www.godfrey.org

The membership runs about $35.00 a year . They have all kinds of things available. One of thie things I love is the obituary databases that they offer. If you have ever seen Newspaper archive online, you know that they charge 99 dollars a year. With the Godfrey library membership that is included along with SCORES of other resources. It is really handy and when you think that to have access to all of this runs three dollars a month, it doesn't get better than that!!

Here's a sampling of a few things you have access to
