Who do you think you are? The television series on NBC by Ancestry.com is interesting showing what you could do with your genealogy if you only had lots of money to spend on experts to do all the work for you. even if you do manage to go to some of these places like old churches the chance that you will find someone to point out where to find the records are kind of small. Then would they let you handle old fragile records with your bare hands, I don't think so! they only tell the most interesting stories, I get that they need to keep their audience watching, but give could give a little explanations of the process of finding the information and making sure it is correct.
I personally have just a small limited income to spend on the genealogy of my family so the internet is my best friend and I do like ancestry.com were I spend over three hundred dollar a year even if it is really a little out of my range, I find it does gives the best information on both the USA and the UK plus they have the best on line family tree, even if it does need improvements like on their PDF stories that have to be downloaded to read. They also tend to group information together like all of a certain years census are all lumped in one big list, where I would rather range them by family, 1880 US Census for John Doe and family rather than 1880 United States Federal Census which makes it hard to find a census for a certain family. I still think ancestry.com is worth it, but I am contently looking at other genealogy web sites.
