Every year, countless new genealogists embark on a journey to find their heritage. With so many research options available online, many turn to a trusted name in the industry: Ancestry.com. Today, Ancestry has branched out into Fold3 (for military records) and Newspapers.com (for historic newspapers), essentially creating a genealogy trifecta. But are all three programs really worth the high cost? And just how can novices and seasoned genealogy pros leverage their search to get the most out of their pricey subscription? Join the presentation that will assess the perks–and downsides–of Ancestry, Fold3, and Newspaper subscriptions.
