They always call me to see if I want to renew...

Also I can't live without the census records and indices (even though
indices are not complete). Census images are extra charge. I am
getting a bit perturbed by ancestry charging more for everything new.

I probably use ancestry more because there is no genealogy library in my
town and I have difficulty making it to the nearest one. I have also
made use of the marriage and military records...but most of the rest has
been of no help to me.

I am now trying the newspaper subscription, but so far I don't like the
viewer they are using and it takes way too long to search through for
the name I am searching for.
