Is ancestry.com worth the cost*? I've always though the idea interesting / with various free online resources didn't get back past early 20th century (parents of my great great grandfather who was in Stanford's opening class).

*and if so, what level/sort of subscription?

I think it is pretty awesome if you are just starting.  It is a gold mine and does alot of the heavy lifting for you.  I say yes, and you can save money by just getting access to the US stuff.

If you are a vet you can get by using free internet resources (like familysearch.org) and family tree software like family tree maker.

Sure, maybe now on paper.   But it still reeks of Mormontardism.

Maybe, but all the money goes to London capitalists.

But all the material's being handled by Mormons, ready to baptize all your dead relatives.

It already was handled by them.  I think the site was first largely about giving digitizing their giant dead relative baptizing resource library.

So what's your point?

1. My Relatives are all doomed to enternal Mormonhood anyway might as well find out who they were.

2. All my money goes to evil London Bankers while doing so.

All this time I thought it was Bilderbergers.

Mormons are fine people.  Ignore Squeelus on that issue.

They have an incredibly retarded, racist, and sexist belief system.  Besides that they are alright.  Still never living in Utah.
