Hello, I think there is a misunderstanding of what it is MyFamily.com is going to begin charging for. They simply are going to begin charging those of us who have made PRIVATE sites on their servers. They are not increasing any charges (that I know of) for any of their commercial material, like census, etc. Myfamily.com has nothing to do with any information or pictures up on my sites, I just use their servers. I think their previous offer of FREE space was generous. I have two sites, myself. One is free, the other I opted pay for so I could have more space. Both sites are private, meaning you must have a password and username to get on. Who I invite is up to me and the other members of the site. No one visiting my sites has to pay anything. The free site was only for immediate family, I put it up when my son was deployed overseas as I knew that was one way we could communicate because he had access to computers and I was VERY happy to be able to use this site in this way and would have gladly paid for it, but I didn't need a larger site than the free space allotted by Myfamily.com. The site I pay for is for Taylor researchers from the area of Pulaski/Whitely/ and McCreary Co KY. The small yearly fee that I paid for this site is nothing compared to the information that has been shared and the pictures that I've been able to view that were posted by other researchers. I do think that they are taking somewhat of a bum rap by some people here. Happy Searching, Valorie Taylor Spence --------------------------------------------------- War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart Mill ~ (1868)
