What are the BEST fee paying Genealogy Sites?

genealogy
The Master asked:


I live in the UK & have Ancesters in USA, Canada, NZ, Australia & a few other Countries I expect. Ancestry UK is a very good site, but Ancestry Worldwide is $350 a year, which is a little expensive, are there any other sites out there, as good but cheaper. Thanks in advance.

    I would always say that ancestry is by far the best site going with the largest selection of records by a long way:
    But if you’re looking for another good fee site, this one also has a lot of good records including passenger lists and census records:

    Scotland’s People is excellent if you’re looking for Scottish BMD and census stuff, but overall, Ancestry is king.

    I have the world deluxe membership with ancestry.com /.co.uk and it’s amazing, I pay monthly and through ancestry.com, it is cheaper by about £7:00 a month doing it that way. With this package I have access to every record/document they have on their site. Well worth every penny I spend on it. Findmypast in my honest opinion is absolutely rubbish and not worth the money at all the records are incomplete, the help line isn’t very helpful. I did have membership to that one, but I decided after a two week trial with ancestry etc, that was the best option.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a subscription to Ancestry UK and think it is well worth the money.
    I wouldn’t say findmypast is rubbish, they often have the census indexed correctly where Ancestry does not. I have bought a small amount of credits for that site so I can look at the information when needed.

    I am currently using the “Genealogist site as all my queries relate to BMD in England.
    The system is easy to use.

    However, I also use Find my Past, the immigration records only.This is a wonderful site, I have found all the information regarding sea travel,
    the other info on this such as BMD to obtain this info the system is far too slow and a bit of a nightmare compared to others,
