For none census information you really can't beat joining the society for the area you are researching, they usually have transcriptions that are not available anywhere else such as PR's, graveyard transcriptions etc. and you can usually get freeor very cheap look ups from them as well, most societies have their own mailing list that you can subscribe to and get further help off other subscribers researching the same area as you, here's a link to the list of societies/area's mailing lists. |

I know that at first glance an Ancestry subscription seems expensive, but it works out at less than £2 a week (you can spend more on a magazine!!) and for that you can use the site all day every day for a year. |

There is no such thing as 'Best Site' You can not expect to put in a name and get all there is about that person. It simply doesn't work like that. You really need to take stock and decide what it is you are trying to find, where, and for which period. |

I'd say that Ancestry is well worth the money. |

I was interested in the tip about subscribing to ancestry, as I'm a bit confused/overwhelmed as to the number of sites available and the different types of records they have. I've been toying with ancestry, had the free trial and was quite impressed. I'm also thinking of joining Soc Genealogists as well as several regional family history societies. |
