Cousins: I just finished deleting all the information and list members from my Clan Moncrief site on myfamily.com. I got kicked off the site several times and once was kicked off the net. The clincher was when I tried to delete myself and I got the below message. "You are the only administrator on this site. You cannot delete yourself unless you first create another administrator." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? There is nothing left on the site so let them EAT IT! I'm so angry I could eat nails and chew tacks! Has anyone else had this problem? Cousin Sandi

Haven't had time to check out her site lately, but first found it doing some AR research, then received this message today and thought you all might be interested in it.

Hi all, I have been monitoring all the discussion about Ancestry charging for family sites and it really upsets me that this is happening,.especially getting double payed from users and not letting anyone know about it. I know that it has us all pretty upset, but I hope that we don't end up cutting off the whole hand when maybe only the finger is injured. What I mean by that is this: I know that you have to buy a subscription to use the resources that Ancestry has available, but how many of us have used those resources and have found them valuable. I for one would not have found my Maupin roots if it weren't for their genforum sites and such and I would not have been able to find (as easily) my father's family. My father did not know his father and knew nothing of his family, through Ancestry I was able to find info about my father's heritage and to be able to help my father finally meet his lost family. I for one do not have the time or money to travel to find information the way it had to be found before the age of computers. I have done some of this and it has taken me 25 years to find my father's family and was not able to do so until computers. God bless those of you who have spent so much time to travel and search for family information and then are willing to share it. I know it is disheartening to see your work taken from you with no acknowle! dgements etc...and then to charge someone else to access it. I really don't know what the answer is, I only know that we have to keep on trying to find ways to share our info with others trying to find out the some things we are. After all that is what family is about. I want my children and grandchildren and all my descendents to know what kind of family they came from, how their ancestors helped shaped the country and cities and towns that we call home now. My father is such a different person now, because he finally has found his "roots" and has a heritage to pass on to his family. As fellow researchers you all know how important any small piece of information is to us now, so let us remember anything we have today will be valuable to someone in the future. Let us keep on keeping on....... I guess what I am trying to say is that even though there are alot of negatives about Ancestry and other gen sites there are also some positives too. Let us bear this in mind in all our future decisions. Thanks and God bless to all my cousins ~Leanna John ~ Frances Dabney Thomas~ Judith Cobbs John Dabney ~ Mary Cobbs Charles Morris ~ Elizabeth Barton George F. ~ Ella Brooks Myrtle Ila ~ August Treichler Helen Treichler ~ Myes Johnson Carol Johnson ~ Jim Burgess Leanna Burgess (ME) ~ Steven Veazey

Good Evening: My sister and I just returned from Clay County, KY. We went down to attend the Adonoram Allen Reunion. Met many "cousins" nard shared a lovely luncheon. Any who descend from the Al lens; i.e., Thomas Maupin and Adeline Allen, our great grandparents, they have proof that he fought in the Revolutionary War at Kings Mountain and that he was first cousin to the famous Ethan Allen. There mothers were sisters. William, as I told you I will be happy to help with the 2005 Reunion and will draft my sister too.

John and Frances Dabney Maupin site Well, isn't this interesting? I have been sponsoring for this site for the past two years, also.

Sandi, I have been paying for John & Francis Maupin site. I have paid for it for the past two years, so that there would be additional space. Although I may not get on the site as often as I would like to, I really hate to see information disappear as well. Even though the information may not be directly connected to my Maupin line, I really enjoy reading what is there and looking at the photos. I am open for suggestions. Is there any other way we could do this. Actually, probably not.

Sandi, Am I to understand that you are no longer going to have your material posted on the web? If this is so, then I certainly don't want them to charge me for that site. I have been paying for you to have additional space on the myfamily website. That was so that you would have room for photos, etc. I need to know if you still want me to continue to pay for the additional space or not. It is due again in September, I believe. Thanks.
