Did I see correctly that Ancestry.com owns Rootsweb now? Has anyone been on GenWeb or tried to access it? I've tried all day. Thanks, Brenda

Gloria, You have your names mixed up. Ancestry.com is owned by MyFamily.com. RootsWeb (and all the things RootsWeb does) is a sub of Ancestry.com. Family Tree Maker is owned by Genealogy.com who's major ower is A&E Network. Genealogy.com also has GenFourm and others. Mattel does is not part of Genealogy.com any more. But Mattel still owns part of the Learning Co's other software.
