I was comparing this to ancestry.com and found my 5xGreat Grandfather here didn't have any info. I created an account and suddenly the searches that worked fine as a non-member are overlaid with the request for a year membership #$119.
I logged out of the "free" account, did the search on a non-account and it works fine.
If this is how you think you win people over to join a membership, you're wrong.
