Ancestry is too greedy for peoples money and Mormons don't want to give up their money so that everyone can access the information at the Family History Centers. From what I was told from a Mormon friend of my that volunteers at a Family History Center they Mormon Church dropped Ancestry because Ancestry wants too much money for their subscriptions per computer not per Family History Center. Mormons are too cheap to pay the expensive prices that Ancestry wants and Ancestry is too greedy to lower their prices.
