All the others say basically the same=20 thing: DON'T SUBSCRIBE! <<Yes. I am very familiar with Family Discovery. PLEASE PLEASE do not subscribe to=20 this site. They have pilfered much of their materials from GenWeb and then=20 charged for it. Worse, none of what they took was asked for - rather, they=20 simply took it and in most cases "hid" it within their own frames so that th= e=20 person looking at the data couldn't even find their way back to the Gen Web=20 site it was taken from. There was a huge outcry from GenWeb and other free sites about a year ago=20 with this "outfit" - so much in fact, that Family Discovery abandoned the=20 server they were on and moved quietly to another - and tried again. There=20 have been several law suits against them for copyright infringement and=20 again, If you chose to invest your money with them it is very likely you are= =20 going to lose. Additionally, all the people that do the research and so=20 freely put it on the web are also being hurt, because they don't get a cut o= f=20 the money Family Discovery takes. If you need =A0more info, feel free to write. Ask A
