	It also depends on what part of the world you are searching for your ancestors. Just a quick look at the site ( Origins ) tells me its just British and Irish ancestors. Myself being an Australian, and a member of Ancestry au benefits me more, as it provides me access to both Australian & U.K records. Tony ( Australia )
