Journeys In Genealogy is a free, open resource for anyone to use. Genealogical websites are an interesting and expensive avocation–as there is a deep cost in research and presentation. Annually, there are subscriptions to Ancestry.com and other online genealogical resources. There is a yearly cost to host the service–as well as fees for features that are add-ons or software upgrades.

We need your partnership–please consider donating to the project!
