Question:

Why does ansetry .com have a monoply?

I have been looking for a sight that is free of charge to find out who my father was and all I get is ansetry .com, which you have to join
I can not afford to join anything I live on ss, Im 64 and before I die I would like to know, my mother is dead and she would never speak of him.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There is a great site out there called Family Search. This is a great way to find ancestors, and there is no charge. They actually pull from many of the same databases, but it's non-profit.

By the way: ancestry.com doesn't have a monopoly- they've just had the money to do research for many years. Believe it or not, geneology is expensive. But, familysearch.org should help you, and you won't pay any money to use the site.
