Who are the foreigner's .....Waht info do you have to support this. When you go onto ancestry and find a name, the first page you bring up is a summary of what is on the census; then you look at the census; foreigners have been hired to translate these names and it is now getting to be the worst mess. They list them out of order, get names wrong, leave out names, misspell names, you name it and they do it-this makes it harder to find families if they have some totally different spelling. Some must be readers from right to left, as some of the names are being listed backwards from what they are on the list. I live near ancestry and I may go over there and tell them that they can't keep up making changes as fast as the mistakes are being made. It is getting worse each week. You can send in corrections, but I amsending in as many corrections, nearly, as I am finding records. Sue ************** Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

The same ones you talk to when you need your computer fixed; I know people at ancestry and I know what I am talking about, Bob.
