    1. Re: [GATHOMAS] Ancestry.com 1 World Tree also Rootsweb files!!!!!
    2. Yes, I see that. Maybe my problem is that I have been paying abt 125.oo annually for several years to access records at ancestry.com. Now they come up with this program. Would like to use my records...almost 14,000 individuals and charge you and me for the use of the search engine. Also, I have been reading post at ancestry.com and if you go there you will see many fine points and concerns being made by others about the use of the information and how it will be controlled. It also states that in the future the "submitter" will be able to edit their info. So until then you are totally out of control concerning your info that they have stitched into the OWT. And what does "in the future mean"??? Next month, 2 years from now? My concern is that not enough notice has been given to people with their files posted. I have read and reread many of the statements given at ancestry.com and way too many loop holes seem to still be in the system. Just how many people do you think have been away from their computers for months. When they return they will find their info has been hijacked without their knowledge. That others are now making profit by using their family info to link to others. I think the basic idea is great. But ancestry.com should have approached the submitters in a better way and cleared up a lot of issues before continuing with this project. Just go read at ancestry.com - message boards - ancestry.com (name of board) Thank you, Susan
