Yes some of the LDS or should I say most of the LDS FHL have Ancestry.com The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints paid for a subscription to Ancestry.com for all their FHL. Church members and non church members can & do use Ancestry.com for genealogical pursuits. LDS still have microfilms for someone to rent for a period of time which is still the best source when looking for something specific as they are microfilm copies of the original source.
