This was a misunderstanding---- The "charge" was for a Search Instrument which they have created to service all their files -- the data you submitted will still be reached free through the usual places. ================ Hi MK, It was good to talk with you this morning. Thanks for calling and taking my return call. I appreciate your willingness to help clarify our plans with people in your area of influence. Here is a quick summary of what we discussed: - You have my permission to redistribute all information in this email - Ancestry World Tree will continue to be free (the user submitted trees on Ancestry & MyFamily) - World Connnect will continue to be free (the trees on Rootsweb) I hope this helps. Thanks again. Gary Gibb Vice President of Product Ancestry.com
