I don't have a subscription with them anymore, which is a bit expensive, but their collections are impressive. Better than the LDS (FamilySearch) overall, imo.

And the submitted family trees seemed more accurate too, in general. I found several INSANE family tree submissions to the LDS years ago, back in the days when I'd actually visit some LDS libraries.

EDIT:
Ancestry's DNA analysis seems the most accurate too. I didn't really NEED to do it to resolve any mysteries, but they confirmed my paper trails which pointed to origins from the British Isles.
