Ancestry is one of the largest genealogy websites worldwide, and for those on a tight budget Ancestry Library Edition may be available from your local public library. 

Ancestry Library Edition provides access to all records included in a paid world subscription.  Census, BMD, Military, Immigration, Pictures, Stories, Maps, Trees, etc.  It does not allow you to create your own  online tree and link records to it. 

The database can only be accessed in-house, not from home, but will generally be available on your library's public PCs and via their public wi-fi using your own laptop or tablet.  Records can generally be downloaded to a USB or to your device, and printing may also be available.
