[QUOTE="foghorn918, post: 2947380, member: 11059"] Ancestry access is somewhat expensive, but for the folks like Dennis' sister that had to travel all over the country to research and obtain records, and sometimes come up empty, that is a huge accumulated expense. I believe the records I have obtained through Ancestry's database have been cheaper for me to obtain through membership (so far) than physically going and finding them on my own. I have through the records from Ancestry such as birth, death, census, military, wills, and probate records been able to document my lineage and have it verified by, and granted membership into the Sons of the American Revolution. I have done this for two of my ancestors, one through my grandpa on my mom's side and the other through my grandma on my dad's side. I like knowing that I had ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and helped in the birth of our nation. It is also very interesting to map out the migration of my family ancestors' journeys as they arrived into the colonies and moved west, and eventually made me an Oklahoman. My little home office room has now become a family history room with historical documents, certificates, maps, photos, and land record documents. Two of my ancestors made the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889, one is my great grandfather on my dad's side through his dad, and the other a great-great grandfather also on my dad's side through his mom. I was never into the genealogy or family history until I got older, but now I find it very interesting and hope to keep discovering more. It is now something that I want my son and my grandchildren to know about, and hope when they are older that they may also take an interest and add to what I've learned for their grand kids and my future generations.
