Yes, the data comes from public sources... so it says at least. I sincerely doubt that this is not the case based on what the data is (not arrests, court cases, tax nonpayment, etc.). However, FamilyTreeNow is much better than any other public data web site (eg. Switchboard, Intellus, PeopleFinder and others) which I've tried in the United States (and were free) because it gives you far, far more datacollected together all in one place/screen. It's been a great relief to use it because I was finally able to pull together several people into families who are basically still living or have been up until recently. Let's hope they aren't just using this as "chum" and will pull much of it behind a paywall once you are hooked. We'll see. Take care...
