For all of you like myself who have only a few $ to spend on researching my family..... The Fairfax County Virginia Library system has what was described to me as a "mega-subscription" to Gale Publishings databases. Unbeknownst to probably everyone out there, Gale Publshing bought Ancestry.com sometime this fall. and we can only hope that means nothing at all. Ancestry.com purchased rootsweb...etc,etc. The subscription Fairfax County Library has to Ancestry Plus databases can be accessed with a Fairfax County Library Card needed for passord information. Their library home page link to databases, then to DaleNet will get you there. The password is your easibly obtainable library card ID. sI hope this helps someone. I personally have seven library cads ( three VA, one DC, two MD, plus LVA) much to my mother's shock two years ago when she thought they were all credit cards!! My Best Regards.
