Genealogy Subscriptions
Home > Genealogy - Store > Subscriptions
There is free genealogy information all over the Internet, but it is "hit and miss" as to what you will find, and in what format. There are several "pay sites" that offer annual (or quarterly) subscriptions for access to a huge collection of original genealogical research material including census records, passenger lists, military records, and so forth. I've compiled a list of several such subscriptions that I am affiliated with, primarily with Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com, two of the best Internet based genealogy services. Check out the listings below. Also refer to my Recommendations page for my personal commentary on various Genealogy Pay sites and services.
| US and Canada Records
Collection (birth records, marriages, deaths, genealogies, histories,
scanned books, etc.). I (Marty Grant) am a member, and I use it often.
|
| US Census Images
(1790-1930) and Census Indexes. View original census documents (not
transcriptions, but actual scanned pages from the original microfilm). The
images are complete for all census years and locations (excepting 1890 which
is lost for most the United States). The indexes are not complete for all
census years, but they are available for 1790 through 1860, and also for
1920 and 1930. Others are added periodically. I am a member and I use these
databases nearly every day.

Collection. Over 50 million names from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
databases. Contains numerous records from various parish registers, and
other sources. I am a member and really enjoy finding my British ancestry!

obituaries, articles, ads, etc.
