Janet,
            The only way that I have found to get past the "Pay Per
View" or "Pay as You Go" with the many members only genealogy Web Page
services, is to find a link by way of a Internet Search.  Use
"Webcrawler" or "Infoseek" or "Excite", enter your Surname and scroll
through the many listings that may contain the information you are
seeking.  About 50% of the time the search will get you past all of "Pay
for Information" Protocols, and allow your to search the Web Site to
your hearts content.
            Each of the services off non-members a very minimal free
Surname search, and then give you information like how many sites
with-in its guarded walls contain the Surname you are researching, then
give you the membership hypte to gain access to the many resources.
            I am cheap, I share whatever genealogy data I have frre of
charge, and I have received shared data from members of these services.
Why pay for something you can get for Free.  Sharing genealogy data is
interesting, fun, educational, and many times one meets a new distant
relative or cousin.
            Researching James F. CATES b abt 1750 probably in SC, then
migrated to TN.  Also researching William T. DUNCAN b 1781/87 s/o
