Ancestry.com...worth it?

[Steve Ashton]

Ancestry.com is a tool. I gives you access to records and data. You must still do the work.

My wife was able to find records that we didn't even know or dream about. But the records must already exist and be uploaded. It is only as good as who has uploaded the records.
And of course not everything is on a computer or accessible.

The linking that the Ancestry.com does is your data to another member's data. If you both link to the same person or record it will tell you. We are still getting messages that someone else has linked to some of our data two years after we stopped the subscription.
