I won a free year-long membership to the whole site back in 2005 and used the international records a little bit during that time to research my <A HREF="http://www.irishgenealogical.com" REL="nofollow">Irish ancestry</A>. But the usefulness of those records to me wasn't enough that it made it worth it monetarily for me to subscribe to World Deluxe on my own when my free subscription ran out. I just signed up for the U.S. subscription after that, and have continued to do so. The U.S. collection is a great collection, and worth the price, but the price of World Deluxe, in my opinion, isn't justified by the value it provides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-21023922471055719102009-04-22T15:01:00.000-07:002009-04-22T15:01:00.000-07:00I can help you out if you send me the names of int...I can help you out if you send me the names of interest.

Since the database is derived from Canadian government records, it of course makes sense that it requires a Canadian or WorldDeluxe subscription to view. If you used as your criteria for what went where whether a database had relevance to United States research, then all databases would have to be in the US Deluxe subscription since all foreign databases likely have the name of SOMEONE who emigrated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27057117167166540262009-04-22T11:34:00.000-07:002009-04-22T11:34:00.000-07:00Well now I see the announcement was made on ancest...Well now I see the announcement was made on ancestry.ca as a new database. It might have been a different database I was searching about a year ago, but the one I was searching was definitely a list of people crossing from U.S. into Canada.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685469192302183419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-66616203376826782012009-04-22T11:31:00.000-07:002009-04-22T11:31:00.000-07:00When they first released that database it was defi...When they first released that database it was definitely available to US subscription because I searched it for a relative I knew crossed in that time frame.
