Oh, how sickening! Ancestry's late use of "MyFamily.com" because Broderbund already had "Family Tree Maker", and Broderbund's late use (really, buying out of...) Genealogy.com since almost everything had "gen" in it instead of "family", have helped to cause sooo much confusion for their supposed customers, and all for the sake of a few more "bucks". Now, you tell us it's even more pyramided than I knew. I surely wish both would concentrate on improving their products instead of buying out the genealogy world, & coming up with supposedly catchy new titles, & reinventing the wheel (a pedigree or family tree...) for their own sites. Sorry for taking your time this afternoon on this somewhat off-topic subject, but I think it's fairly important for these companies to hear some feedback from real genealogists, both amateur & professional.
