I subscribed to Ancestry 3 mths ago and I am very pleased with my subscription. I have had no problems finding my ancestors on the census. It is true not all the census years are indexed but my understanding is that they all will eventually be indexed. If I remember correctly when you order the micro film it was not indexed, you had to search for whom ever you were looking for. I took advantaged of the specials they offered and to me it was worth the money. I guess it depends on what you are looking for and how hard you want to search. I keep in mind that when searching family trees submitted that you have to be sure of what is documented or what is assumed.
