In addition, the Genealogy.com web site will undergo major changes but will remain as an available product. Below is the announcement from Ancestry.com V.P. Eric Shoup as posted on the Ancestry.com Blog. For details concerning the changes to each service, click on the links at the end of Eric's announcement: We're proud of the variety of products we've created over the years that enable people to discover, preserve and share their family history. We recognize that there are a lot of ways that we, as a company, can make family history easier, more accessible and more fun for people all over the world. And we're continually innovating to make it a reality. We're always looking to focus our efforts in a way that provide the most impact, while also delivering the best service and best product experience to users. To that end, we've decided to retire some of our services: MyFamily, MyCanvas, Genealogy.com, Mundia and the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests. We will note that the AncestryDNA (autosomal) test will continue to be available for purchase. Only the y-DNA and mtDNA tests will be retired. Starting September 5, 2014, these services will no longer be available to access. Genealogy.com is the exception to the rule, and will continue in a slightly different form. If you are an active member or subscriber to one of these services, you will be contacted directly with details of how to transition the information you've created using these services. We know these services have provided value to you. We think they're pretty cool too, which is why this wasn't an easy decision for us to make. In the end, it came down to priorities and we think our core offerings are a great place to spend our time and resources. So here's to revolutionizing family history, focusing on providing the best product experience we can offer and to the limitless possibilities that lie before us. The Attala County Web Site is in need of contributions of photographs, documents, family letters, diaries, etc. Submit your material to Everette Carr at: <a href="mailto:attaladirector@gmail.com">Attala Director</a> ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MSATTALA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -- Jeannie God Bless God Speed kymonroe@rootsweb.com ancestraltrackers.org
