Thanks for the info, Karen. I have to say (and I'm patting myself on the back now!) that none of the other lists of which I've been a member are as laid back as ours. As far as I'm concerned, anything that aids in our gen. research, even if it's not specific to the PA census, is welcome (just make sure a proper subject line is given so list members don't get confused). Your volunteer services are a great asset to our list and we greatly appreciate your efforts!

I've had a couple of census volunteers contact me privately on this issue so I figured I post it so everyone could see it. I think you need to lighten up a little bit, as many of the other subscribers to your list do. And YES it is accurate, I found, copied and pasted that info DIRECTLY FROM THE ANCESTRYPLUS site, something I have had access to ever since I subscribed to Ancestry.com years ago. So if you want to throw me off the list go ahead. I will email everyone privately and tell them what happened. ----- Original Message ----- From: JYoung6180@aol.com To: dustbunny55@comcast.net Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 7:47 PM Subject: Re: {not a subscriber} No more AncestryPlus In a message dated 9/2/2005 7:39:54 PM Eastern Standard Time, dustbunny55@comcast.net writes: For those of us who helped people look up census records and went that extra step by looking up the Directories on AncestryPlus - this is no longer available to those of us who had an Ancestry.com subscription - just another thing they want us to pay for. Just want everyone to know who couldn't get into it the past couple of days. Karen Karen- Your message didn't come through on PAPHILAD because you are not currently subscribed to that list--however, I think you should know that your information isn't accurate and doesn't belong on the list anyway. AncestryPlus which had been provided to libraries and other institutions was based upon a partnership between Ancestry.com and The GaleGroup. It wasn't part of your regular Ancestry subscription--it was a special service to libraries, Family History Centers, GenSocs, etc. All that has happened currently is that Ancestry has changed partnerships in providing their extra services to these organizations in that they no longer are partnering with The GaleGroup but rather with ProQuest--same type of service with the same type of subscription--just a different partner providing the service. Please see that you are giving out accurate information--it doesn't pay to be spreading rumors and untruths. Thanks!
