Kathy,

We hoped that our Search Results would provide enough information to help people make an informed decision.

Here’s an example of record I found about my grandfather

In this case, we may have given too much away with the preview image.

In other cases, if someone is not sure the document is what they want, they can buy just that image for $1.99 and skip a monthly or yearly commitment entirely.

(The annual subscription also includes a money-back guarantee and provides a 1-800 call support number.)

We’d be interested in learning more about what you would find helpful in making a more informed decision.

Thanks for your comment.

I would like to see a free “trial” offered such as Ancestry.com & Genealogy.com offer. That way we can decide if it is worth our hard earned dollars. I hesitate to hand over that amount of money without knowing whether it is valuable to me or not. I agree it is quite a high price for the relatively limited content. A free trial would allow people to make an informed decision about whether this site will benefit their research. I think you would attract many more customers that way.

Why do you pretend that Footnote is a free service when there are actually fees involved??? Why would anyone add information and/or documents for the benefit of your company? Seems like a scam to me … nice web interface, though.

Content looks interesting, but way too little given high fee.

Todd –

I’m currently investigating the issue with the Flash upgrade you’re having, and I’ll try to resolve it asap.

I really think it’s a wonderful idea and will be an invaluable site for anyone, but the subscription fee is way too high.

Tried to download current version of Flash, and got a error that seems to say Macro Media Security Certificate expired Jan 12, 2007. If true, not real bright.
Otherwise, look forward to seeing your site grow.
Todd.

Hello,
Congratulations on he partnership! I’m interested in finding out more, however, my e-mail sent using the Footnote Web form bounced back. How can I get a hold of someone in your press office?
