I want to take a gander at my heritage, but Ancestry.com makes you pay, and I ain't doing that shit.
It's also super weird? Like, how do they have all those records? It seems fake to me.
Re: How did you not pay?
Some libraries offer free use to their members, College/University libraries more than public libraries but some public ones do offer.
You are welcome :)
Additional "freebies" (because they are paid for by tuition and/or taxes) at libraries beyond free internet- magazine subscriptions (take that consumer reports!), newspaper subscriptions, standard books/audiobooks obviously but also digital books (and magazines) and digital audiobooks, movies, music, software (games/educational, not like Windows or Adobe Suites) research (get help from a reference librarian - they can provide you specific information or a bibliography to peruse at your convenience relevant to the question/topic, great prices at booksales, some libraries have oddities (tools/toys/framed art, etc.) for lending, inter-library loan can lend you just about any book from anywhere outside your system for a couple bucks including textbooks, Pre-K through Adult reading/writing/interest specific events and activities.
I know there's more, but people really under utilize their libraries. You can join for minimal $ a nearby but not your local library too!
