I am indeed going to unsubscribe to this "bought" list. I wonder if John Merz envisioned his list as a place to buy and sell trinkets. He donated plaques in Germany, yes, but he didn't hawk them online. Before I do so, I would like to again thank Everett ([email protected]) for his invaluable information about Erbprinz Regiment to which my Hessian ancestor belonged. Thankfully I can directly communicate with Everett if need be. -- Goodbye Daniel Cooley > Daniel, First your only correct about the rules for lists started after ancestry.com bought rootsweb.com. > > This list was "bought" by the original owner/creator John Merz and continues to have its own established rules, as agreed to by Ancestry.com. When the creators of Rootsweb.com ran this business you could donate over 100.00 USD and you would be given a mailing list to run by your own rules (Within limits of course.). This mailing list happens to fall under those rules.
