I would give ancestry negative stars. IT's terrible. I know more than they know. If you aren't from America, there's nothing for you here. Such a waste.

There is some info. But it's a crap shoot. People have to remember that the records on ancestry.com are elsewhere on other websites as well. And the truth is, the only records you can get from any website are the records that have been put into the system. Presently, that has a long way to go. A LONG way to go.

I have had really good luck in their newspaper archives but unfortunately they limit you to 10 searches per day with a 40% off offer to then join NewspaperArchives.com for another $71 per year... nowhere on their site or Terms of Use did I find notification of this limited access... in fact, original offer states "UNLIMITED" access for $39.95... beware!

Archives.com's Phone number is: 1-888-896-4442 You won't be able to find this number on the archives.com site anywhere. Good luck they are a bunch of scam artists.

Like Ancestry.com? Not hardly. They're helping people find dead ancestors which helps people feel good, hopefully about themselves. Dead people can't be hurt, sort of. I don't like their agenda. Sneaky.

A one star rating was given because there is no minus ratings available . This site is just a coin slot for the other genealogy sites. It is worse than useless and a waste of money and time, Don't waste yours here but go to FamilySearch.com, the LDS site, and it is free.

Was a member for years, but couldn't find anything on my ancestors that I couldn't find for free somewhere else on the 'net. They use info other people have voluntarily submitted and have the nerve to charge for it and make $$! Try www.rootsweb.com--much better!

The new technical staff for Ancestry.com revamped its website, but in the process made it more difficult to get full census pages. When you click on an ancestor's census year to view the page, you get only 1/4 of the page. Then you have to go through a lot of time-consuming trouble to finally get a full page. Also, when you enter an ancestor's name and info for searching, you get mostly names and places that have nothing to do with your ancestor or where your ancestor lived. For instance, if your ancestor lived in New York, you end up getting a whole lot of records for European countries. Ancestry.com used to work A LOT BETTER, before the new Ancestry technical staff started messing around with the Ancestry.com website. As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I've been an Ancestry.com user for years, but am not going to renew my subscription, because I'm frustrated and disgusted with the new changes that have actually made searching and finding the records you want more difficult and time-consuming. Oh...I did try contacting the technical people via phone, only to get a lot of answering machine messages telling me a lot of buttons to push for whatever. Ended up waiting a half hour, still no technical person. So I hung up. Lousy customer service, on top of the technical staff there ruining what used to work well, before they messed around with it.
