I have found WorldConnect and GenCircles to be great free sources. And there's a second tier of other good sites. Sure, many of the the trees on them are seriously under-sourced, and many many are just aggregations of each other. But wow! what a heap of facts are in there. If you wish, call them "leads needing future validation", but don't let that stop you from downloading! Parsing your message a little closer, perhaps you wish more specifically for sources of sources. Heritage Quest has the censuses, although not as well indexed as Ancestry, and is available at many libraries and through some societies. -free, to up to $100. Until recently, the Godfrey Library was my fav., $35/yr. The Mormon's library system may have a branch near you. $4, approx, to rent a microfilm from Salt Lake's vast collection. Many others.
