While I'm still subscribing to Ancestry because of not having finished researching the Census reports (going to the local library is a big hassle, since it's downtown...no place to park without feeding a parking meter, you have to take a number in the genealogy section to wait for a microfilm reader, etc.). However, I am SO in agreement with all you say...in fact, I'm still expecting them to come out with an ad offering us their mother..."she's a virgin". Maybe they won't go that far, but they will certainly sell anything they can for the almighty dollar! Mike IBSSG > [Original Message] > From: J.
