There are many ways to research free. I’m a frequent visitor of Genweb and I get plenty of information from family members and local genealogical societies. However, to really dig in, sometimes you have to pay a price. I’ve subscribed to ancestry.com off and on for the past few years. I’ve also spent money sending off for social security applications for deceased family members.
Some people might think that the costs of doing these things are too much, but I think it’s worth it. Especially since the research and transcription that these services provide is worth a lot more than the $20 or so a month I pay for my subscription or for the copies of the records. I also use my purchases wisely by researching as much as I can while I have a subscription.
So, once you get at a point where you need to take your research to the next level, I’d say that you pay to get access to these records.
