I am starting a Genealogy Search Group in my apartment building. Does Ancestry.com offer group subscriptions?

We have a computer room with four computers so I'm wondering how that would work with their rates.

no

First off, no clue.Secondly, avoid websites. They will lie, falsify, and be utterly unhelpful. Your best bet would be to talk to elder family members, get some names, and hit public records like a rented mule.

no, I dont believe they do, but look up the local mormon church in your area. They have the largest geneaology collections! Through a church in my area, I was able to research my ancestry back to the year 642. Its free too! Good Luck!

umm.this is so cool i am learning about that in school and my teacher mentioned that and she also said google ur last name because their might be a website that someone made

No but your local Public Library will probably have several FREE sites on their website or a genealogy branch.often they have ancestry library edition FREE and Heritage Quest.

I would be very skeptical that ancestry has group rates, but you can check with them. I think I need to offer a comment regarding using websites. There are thousands of websites out there, which are geared for genealogy, and even many that technically are different (ie online access to libraries or newspapers). Genealogy is about finding RELIABLE original records. One example is a census record, which was created at that time. You can find census transcriptions on the internet..which can help finding someone.. but it can have a error in the copying process. Ancestry.com is the widest known service (fee based), and you CAN find that they have scanned those original images, so you can see the entry for yourself. I have recently found a number of entries where the prepared index to the images was inaccurate (misread). If your only concept of "online" genealogy is user submitted family trees.. yes.. please be aware that those are not records. They can be BASED in records, but they are actually only as good as the person who collected the info. Sometimes.. that collection is faulty. I am very vocal as to the idea that all genealogy is not online. That does not mean that you cannot USE the internet to locate some of the records you need, as long as you are aware of reasons behind quality/ non quality "research".
