As Esther indicates there is never a charge from familysearc.org (LDS) for consulting online its various databases, or for visiting and obtaining research tutoring and guidance at its many Family History Libraries (FHL) throughout the world (look for the one near you!).

In some cases there is a nominal handling cost for some "services" such as sending specific microfilm rolls or other publications from their archives in Salt Lake City to your nearby FHL, or for making and sending you photocopies of records that you want.

We should all be thankfull for their immeasurable work in obtaining and cataloging work of genealogical records from around the world, and their magnanimity in sharing it freely with everybody.

It is Ancestry.com, not FamilySearch, that charges extra for certain groups of images.

Yes, so okay when your there after clicking Mexico City

near where it says 4% you should see OR BROWSE IMAGES

click that and it will take you to all the districts in MExico City

youll have to play around with it once your there.
