I use mainly the free sites now, when I do need to find anything else I use Ancestry.
I use mainly the free sites now, when I do need to find anything else I use Ancestry. They used to give a free trial, 2 weeks I think, so you could do the basic searches - just remember to cancel the subscription if you don't want to pay to carry on. You can just have a month at a time whenever you want. Also note that anything you want a copy of download to your computer to print it, if you don't have membership running you cannot access saved records.
