I thought that by using Family Search I would have free access to Ancestry and other sources but they all want me to sign up and pay a fee. Am I incorrect regarding this?

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Becoming a "Registered" User/Patron, of 'FamilySearch', DOES NOT, entitle/give one FREE access to, "Ancestry_com"; or, the like, from one's 'Home'.

    NORMALLY ...

    FREE access to, "Ancestry_com"; and, a number of other such "Websites", is available through, the MANY, "Family History Centres" of the Church, all around the work, to Users/Patrons attending those Centres.

    Unfortunately, currently, for a short time ...

    That FREE access to, , "Ancestry_com"; and, a number of other such "Websites", that is normally available through, the "Family History Centres" of the Church, is TEMPORARILY "Unavailable" for a period of time.

    The TEMPORARILY "Unavailability", commenced on about 2 June (2020); and, may last up to x90 Days, for ESSENTIAL Planned (system-wide) Maintenance; and, updates, for the 'Portal' for the "Family History Centres".

    Hopefully, after that, all will be back to normal.

    Plus ...

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch'.
