Hi All, I have been into geneaology since 1999, and at that time subscribed to Ancestry.  I have been a member since that time and have found it very beneficial.  I allow my data to be uploaded and utilized by anyone wishing to do so.  The greatest majority of my data is verified thanks to the newer versions of Ancestry 2009 and 10.  I would not be without the program personally.  Seems like many of you are complaining for no good or rational reason.  If you wish to do all the traveling from one courthouse to the other, that is your priviledge and more power to you.  Basically, if you don't like Ancestry.com, don't subscribe.  No one is forcing you to do so!  But quit crying like babies that they charge for membership.  They spend alot of money obtaining your online data, sending people to the State capitals and to Washington, DC to all the archives.  Do you have that kind of time? May God Bless you and yours! Jim
