Hi Ron, I got a news letter today from RootsWeb (wish I had saved it) as I'm a member and it said that RootsWeb will still stay FREE but MyFamily (which is Ancestry) are joining forces.... As a special offer from Ancestry, they are offering RootsWeb members a free 3 month subscription to Ancestry) until July 5th. I joined RootsWeb for $24 a year because I think that it's worth the amount considering all the free beenfits you get whether you join or not. After all, it costs money to put this information out. According to RootsWeb, the support from Ancestry will keep them running Free. Maybe someone else who got the RootsWeb letter can give more info.
