Needs improvements...
As with most of these sites, it's difficult to dial down to those I'm focusing on. The search function needs to allow for more specificity to avoid results that don't apply.

I appreciate the Irish Catholic indexes, but even when I check name variations, it seems like the system still misses some very obvious variations.

Worth Every Penny
The access to newspaper articles and census data has been excellent and made my investment worth every penny.
I was able to piece together vital missing segments of my ancestors, which gave me a much greater understanding of the lives they lived.
I do find the birth, marriage, death records to be a bit more challenging in finding family trees. Not having great- grandparent forenames made it more challenging. I still have not found anything relevant on the family trees area and have not utilized other family tree tools.
