Guide: Looking for members of your family? Check out Ancestry.com for Free.
So what's the real scoop on Ancestry.com anyway?
Free Content
You may be surprised to discover that Ancestry.com does have lots of free data. You can search and view their Ancestry World Trees and their Message Boards for no cost. Here you'll find more information on surnames than you'll know what to do with. You may need to give them an email address to gain access and you'll probably need to tolerate a promotional email. But of course you can opt-out after they send you one -- small price to pay.
For-fee Content
They also have some very useful and valuable fee-based content, most notably their census images and newpaper images. How can they charge for this publicly available information? They've spent millions of dollars scanning and indexing this data so you can easily search for your ancestors. Of course you can ask for help on message boards or visit the public archives yourself, but for many, spending a little money to save a lot of time is an attractive offer.
You can gain access to their data for free for a period of time on the following plans:
Annual U.S. Federal Census Subscription Free 7-day trial. Includes 1790 through 1930 U.S. Census.
