For those of us who are older and get set in our way easily we will have to spend time adapting to the new Ancestry. I just hope they don't change too often. Another thing I found; by going to "my account" you can find what is available for different types of accounts. I also could not afford Ancestry without the monthly plan. But it is still available. Go explore all the new avenues available at Ancestry. See where a click will take you and what results you can find. I am off the find my Abraham and Addie in the 1930 Census.
