GenealogyBuff.com - free genealogy databases
(You are welcome to share this tool with your friends and discussion lists!)


- IMPORTANT! - There are many "researchers" who participate in online discussions, email lists, and forums
who say negative things about Ancestry.com...mainly because they think that everything should be free.
I've been an Ancestry subscriber for 5 years and I can tell you personally that a paid subscription is WELL worth every penny!
Take it from someone who has driven for MILES to access census records, libraries, and vital data.
It's cheaper to subscribe to Ancestry.com and do it all in the comfort of your own home...and NO CLOSING HOURS! -
HANDY TOOL:
