List, The messages below are well founded. It appears that the subject website is nothing more than one more in a string of website URLs posing as another activity when it is actually Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is a money grubbing, slippery company. If you read their fine print in the Terms of Reference, you will they claim that any data you send to them becomes their propert. I know other researchers who have been taken in by this scam. Ancestry stole their intellectual property of years of hard work.
