Exactly Lynn. I’m afraid many of our researchers will also do that. Although ancestry has made it pretty clear in their banner, there is still a search box there distracting our visitors. Perhaps it will help if we make our own site searches more prominent.

I hadn't noticed it before. I checked with my Dutchess Co. NY site and it has the same heading. Now that I think about it, I've run into this on other sites. When I've clicked in the search box thinking I was going to be searching that site, I was thrown into Rootsweb where I didn't want to be.

It now contains a search box for ancestry. Personally I think this will hurt as there are many people who don’t like ancestry.com, they charge too much, etc. It was one thing we acknowledge they give us free hosting, it’s another where we now are a portal for their site. This search box heading is not on my other rootsweb sites (yet), just Minnesota. At this time a disclaimer on outside links on our websites is a recommendation, maybe with this blatant search box that should change. > Mike > Clay Co > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
