For the US Records subscritption, it'd cost $24.95/month, or $249.40 per year. Paying up front the same subscription would cost $179. The World collection is a similar, if not bigger, difference Yes, BUT if monthly is the ONLY way you can do it, and one year it was for me; it is still worth the cost. You need to know what you need and if they have that. I chase cousins and possible (yes possible *G* I am that desperate about some lines) thru the census and any local records I can find. To me the Chicago Voters Records were worth the price of admission, I found my Welshborn 2Xggf there and the time they left Ohio (no wonder I couldn't find them in 1880 *G*) I found when and where he was naturalized. But I only knew to look there because I had found the 2Xggm without him next door to the married daughter who I was tracking - just to find out, I didn't expect to find the greatgrands. I love it the longer your family has been here the more you will find in the census, the later they emigrated the more you will find in the immigration db; ENJOY Eliz
