I'm definitely going to try the free resources before paying anything. I want to make sure I can stay with it and focus before spending money. I also might want to be brave and check out the NJ archives in person one day.

Heh, it was Family Search that reached out to me to ask if I'd review some records for them. Probably since they noticed that I use them a lot, especially for items that aren't on Ancestry, as well as I make corrections and note them. Sneaky Mormons!
