Bev, On another Mail List I'm subscribed to, a person wrote in saying because Ancestry and RootsWeb are interrelated that could be the reason Ancestry has your email address even though you do not subscribe to Ancestry. So however you sign in to RootsWeb now if you post on the RootsWeb Message Boards, use that same username and/or password with this 3-day trial offer at Ancestry. Hope this works - Kathleen Musicalbev@aol.com wrote: I've tried to get in both ways: directly thru Ancestry.com and also thru the GMA site. Both sites ask for a password, and I do not belong to Ancestry. The GMA site would not let you got anyplace without the password. Thanks anyway for the information.
