Sun City Vistoso Genealogical Society 
Tested World Vital today. I’m a newbie so keep that in mind. I will compare to rootsweb as it seems most similar to that. Much slower to load any link as compared to Roots. Roots provides more information in information retrieved, both on the ‘hits’ level and often on the final drill down
level. So far, I certainly wouldn’t PAY to use it.
Darwin,
I’ve spent well over 10 hours looking at this database and have gott en very little usefull information out of it. It is cumberso me to use and gives alot of false, non related information for what you are searching for. I even tried to look up information on people that I know exists in many of the census and it many times it comes up with nothing. They don’t give you enough places in the search fields to allow you to narrow your searches.
Even though I would expect that there is much usefull information in their system it is almost impossible to find it. Hope others were more successfull than I was. Maybe I’m just spoiled with Ancestry..
Thanks, Marv Smith
