  • i dont get why people would complain about paying, honestly just do the two week free trial. i got atleast 12-14 generations out of it... the site is amazing and they are absolutely right when they say "you do not have to know what you're looking for." my only complaint is that most of their world archives consists of UK records.. wish they would retrieve more from other areas like italy, poland and russia where I am still stuck

  • @emace3 It would be wonderful if it could be free but given all the work that has gone into compiling the data base I can see why it isn't.

  • @MrNocaster1 There are a number of things that you can do that may unstall you. Try a variation on spelling of both first and last name. Loosening up the search parameters. You'll be surprised what it can yield.

  • you got to pay all of that just to see your family history

  • I find Ancestry.com a necessity for online research but it takes more than seconds. I've been searching for information on one person for 4 years and I still know just basic information about her.

  • Couple of issues I have noted with ancestry, 1. its very American based in its content, 2. User data submitted can be wrong, very wrong so be wary and always check with official archives to confirm accuracy. 3. No images from the UK due to copyright issues, best to go direct to Scotland's People and get the official records.

  • it's amazing all the effort that goes into it. This is a blessing.

  • My father was a weapon specialist in Italy in 1850 :)

  • wow u have to pay to look at ur history F that.

  • ancestry.com has brought joy to our family's life! It is worth the money and makes for a wonderful family project!
