I have found it worth the money. I used to buy credits but had to cram all my look ups into a 14 day period, which is sometimes difficult to do. I took out subscription and can now do look up's whenever I want to.

Marilyn it depend what you want from this hobby. I couldn't be without Ancestry. Not only have I been doing my own tree but also hubbies and friends. I can look at all the census returns for the village I live in which is fascinating.
For my annual subscription I must have looked at thousands of images
.
£79 is less then you would pay for a magazine every week and much more interesting.

I've certainly found it valuable. Being able to look at the census pages and scroll back and forth to see who was in neighbouring properties has solved several problems I had and given me lots of information I wouldn't otherwise have had.

I am at the moment on a free months trial to ancestry after buying a FTM cd when my trial is over should I pay the years subscription of £79 which seems an awful lot of money or not please advise
