Joy Did they say what they were going to do with all the messages on the boards at Genealogy.com? I hope they're going to keep those available. One reason I don't like genealogy on facebook is because there is no permanency....these message boards can be very useful for researchers...would be a shame to loose them.

Agreed ! Ever since Ancestry became a pay site and began buying up and closing all the other genealogy sites. I thought playing Monopoly was illegal.​ On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Joyce Gaston Reece <bjreece@bellsouth.net> wrote: > Joy > > Did they say what they were going to do with all the messages on the boards > at Genealogy.com?

Did you check these links CC Moore gave? For more information about the other four site retirements, please see Randy Seaver's GeneaMusings, Thomas MacEntee's GeneaBloggers and/or the Ancestry.com official blog.

Makes me wonder why they are cutting their own business. I now may consider dropping my accounts there. Why should they do that? Any reasons? Guess I will have to look it up.
