seem worthwhile at this point especially with no option to try it out for just a month.

I have been finding a lot of errors lately in Ancestry. I suppose they can't do much when the source of the info provides incorrect info but both my mom's and dad's descendants along with spouses were listed incorrectly in the obituary info. My mom's spouse listed my husband's name - crazy!

I found a funny error in one of the census listings in Ancestry for someone I initially though was family. It showed her address as the AL Gon Gloin club and I was thinking (because she was Irish) it might be some private Irish club. Turns out it was the Algonquin Club in Boston which is fairly famous and seems, based on the census address, it would have been easy to check.
