I paid the top dollar for ancestry .com and have been very surprised at what
I have gleaned. The US Census from 1850 thru 1930 carries both sides of my
Irish family as well a my German family. I have found much info thru the
Soc. Security Index plus a great many tips and how toos. I have found
history and so much more. I was not disappointed at all. Judy Christopher
