Free or Fee Genealogy: Finding free records, deciding when to pay

Birth, marriage, death, and other genealogical records can be costly. Refine your research strategy by going beyond the best-known sites to free and low-cost sources via Linkpendium, historical and genealogical societies, courthouses, libraries, and more. Learn when it makes sense to pay for a record, based on the criteria of timeliness, the details in the record, and the uniqueness of the record.
