Thanks for the info. on Ancestry.Com. I like you have not been very happy with them but for another reason. When I am doing research and go into their files where my pin number is required 9 times out of 10 they tell me that I am no longer a member. Like you I will not be re subscribing to Ancestry.Com. At least, I hope I wont since they also have my credit card number.
