The web site does not really specify on what you get for the money. All info appreciated. I'm very pleased with my subscription. And pleased at the new data bases the company adds. My only complaint is the newspaper index does not zero in well. It might have 200 entries for ... say...Joe Blow...but it might be J. low or Job ow. Or whatever. Maybe a street name or a business, but not Joe Blow. I don't subscribe to the immigration file. I have no need for it because I've already gotten mine at the NARA years ago. The new Public Records has been a pleasure to access. It has given me information on current relatives and where they live or have lived for the past couple years. Sometimes it has spouses' names to help identify each. So other than the newspaper data, I find Ancestry.com a worthwhile site. Shirley Maynard
