Ted Pack has a spectacular aura about
I subscribe to Ancestry. I often compre it to HBO. If you love movies, HBO is worth it. If you only watch one once a week, it is not.

If you just dabble, Ancestry is not worth it. Since you are obsessed, it would be, assuming you have USA or UK roots and a fast connection. (Or, as I do, can multi-task while the 1.5 MB census images down-load.)

I haven't tried Heritage Quest. Your ideal answerer would have tried both and could compare them.

Ancestry's census images are wonderful. Every once in a while I get another hit, from WW I draft cards, passport applications, local and family histories or one of their specific databases, like "Kentucky Marriages 1800 - 1911".
