[Michlib-l] Ancestry Library Edition versus MyHeritage

[Mary Harrison]

Good Morning Again MichLibL,

  Several libraries asked me to compile and share answers to my earlier
question.  Please find the compilation attached.

 

I really liked the genealogy resources listed on Sherman Township Library's
site and am planning to do something similar for Coloma:
http://shermantwplib.weebly.com/genealogy.html. 

 

Good luck to everyone, Mary

The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library
staff.

Good Morning MichLibL,

 

  Our library is considering dropping Ancestry Library edition due to the
high cost and sliding usage numbers-the average cost per search in June for
our library was $8.06!  

 

Our patrons apparently got used to using it at home in the last couple of
years.  We had respectable numbers before the pandemic, but not so much
anymore.

 

Does MyHeritage serve your patrons' genealogy needs?  We like the fact that
it's free to us through Mel eLibrary.

 

We  would be grateful for any feedback you can provide about either Ancestry
or MyHeritage.
