Hmmm.... The LDS Church signed an agreement with them last year that church members could have "free" membership and link their Ancestry files to Familysearch. Guess I have a lot of work ahead of me ensuring everything gets transferred!

Robert Thank you very much for alerting us all You always have all our interests at your heart. It makes me really angry when I learn of things like 'such and such' a website is coming up for sale. The LDS has gone from straight forward searching specifying the Country and County and even Parish to a Generalisation of every result other than the one we know was there a few years ago Even the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has changed supposedly 'for the better' So has Castle Garden and Ellis Island. One has to plough through hundreds of unconnected records to get to the entry that one needs. The New Company's website taking over is never as easily negotiated and usually costs a lot more to read the numerous results of a search only to find that it is the wrong one. GRRRRRR. A whole new learning curve with every change is in view. GBW the way things were before the freebie or cheapie became a Money maker for other Fat Cats. I wonder how much of the Information on Pay per View sites were innocently 'donated' by a researcher wishing to share their findings or entered onto a freebie Family History Programme. GRR again.
