Joe is this the record you have been looking for?

I was at the library the other day and logged onto ancestry and it was so strange. I plugged in my surname and a record I had never seen before popped up (I needed it so that was good) but all the other records were gone. I guess they are upgrading the site.

Hi Nuccia,
Actually I've been looking for James' Death Certificate. I ran across this census for the first time and was amazed to find his entire family. It was quite a breakthrough. I paid Ancestry $29.95 for a 30 day peak at their records. Is it free at the local library? I did notice (since my last $29.95 splurge about 8 months ago) that the Ancestry layouts and record presentations are much easier to work with, especially if you have your family tree on Ancestry (that's free). Maybe they were doing a database upgrade while you were at the library? BTW, You mentioned your mom was in the hospital... How is she doing?

Hi Joe,

Thats great about you finally finding that record. Its always nice when you have a breakthrough.

Yes, its free at the local library and at your FHC. The features on ancestry have changed and they are upgrading again. Mom is doing better thanks. Just talked her now and she seems to be doing well.
