Hi - I have discovered an American ancestor who I'm looking to find out more about. Don't want to subscribe to a paid site just yet in case I cant find anything about one individual. Anyone know any free US search sites? |

The Library edition is similar or same as the world edition - well worth checking out your local library. |

If Rollo is absolutely sure his local library doesn't offer WW, perhaps it's down to the individual local/county authorities? |

I can't comment on the quality of the American records - but I mostly found what I needed. (My ancestors weren't very adventurous). |
