I get the feeling that a membership to ancestry.com is valuable if your ancestry is from the US. I'm first generation US born, so if that is true, it's of no consequence to me. Also, I never hear anyone from the nuestros ranchos group reference it. My research has led me to Spain on several lines. Does anyone know if it is worthwhile for Spanish research? Thank you for your help. Alice

Yes and no. There is some user-submitted stuff, but there are also primary documents like census, draft registration, border crossing, and so on that you won't get at Rootsweb. Mostly it's not too useful for Mexican research, but great for US and Canadian. They have about 35 collections in their card catalog for Spain, but it looks like mostly historically important events and nobility.

Ancestry.com does have some free information - they own Rootsweb.com. =)
That said, I agree with Patti in that there is value in it. The border crossing records and census data have proved invaluable to me. I recently connected with relatives who share my lineage but whose branches of the family had been "lost" to us. We didn't even know that their ancestor...my grand uncle, had crossed into the US. Now I have them all plotted and discover new branches regularly. If you have had no ancestors cross before you, Alice it probably would be a waste of your time to pay for Ancestry.com. You might also want to know that the LDS Family History Center I use has subscription membership and allow people to use it for research free of charge. For your consideration.
My parents were the first (on dad's side) to immigrate, while my mother's family never did. I am the first of my family born in the US, so I think that beyond my family's border crossing (which I did find), I have no need for US research. I was hoping that some group members had success stories to report with ancestry.com in dealing with Spanish research. So far, I haven't heard members report on much success with Spain as we have in researching Mexico thanks to familysearch. I sincerely hope this doesn't bring my family research to an end on those family lines.
I will definitely explore rootsweb.com and see what it has to offer. I am simply hesistant to pay the $200+ for something that might not have that much to offer me personally. While the information I've acquired through Familysearch and the low charge for microfilm lending has proven itself priceless, I would gladly pay the subscription price if it afforded that much knowledge of Spain. Again, thanks so much. Alice

I have an old family photo sent to my grandmother who has since died. The photo has a male adult and four children. The back reads: "Miami, Arizona Abril 2 de 1928 Sr. Josemaria Gutierrez Mena Recuerdo de sus nietos y Nicanor su sobrino." I know these are persons related to us but cannot identify the persons. My grandmother had said they were cousins on her father's side. Our family is from the Gutierrez from Jalostotitlan, Jalisco.
