I signed up for a free 30 day trial and was in the middle of looking around when my phone rang and it was a guy from the company asking a few questions about what I was hoping to learn, then tried to help me find a particularly elusive great grandfather. No luck. Then he tried to get me to sign on for the yearly membership instead of the monthly plan I had chosen.
Nope. Sorry. It probably won't take me real long to find info since it doesn't appear to extend to other countries and most of my family only got here in the very early 20th century from Canada
But anyway, I did find some really interesting stuff. Like a newspaper article on how one uncle, who is only six years older than I, nearly died at the age of 8 when he and a friend fell through a skylight of a foundry roof and landed on a concrete floor 25 feet below. His friend actually did die from head injury.
I never knew that, although when I asked one of my cousins, he said that he did know what nearly happened to his dad.
I think I know what I'll be spending a lot of time doing on my computer for a while.
PS. I also love seeing the old advertisements and what things cost long ago.
