Bob, I subscribe to 17 genealogical sites and there is an enormous difference in each of them. I use them for the free lookups that I do and for clients. I have over 11,000 genealogical books at home but I still need access to what these sites offer. Dee Thompson, Atlanta All lookup requests will be permanently archived on the Bladen County Genweb site. For a detailed bibliography on the reference sources used for lookups refer to this Link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncbladen/lookups.htm -----Original Message----- From: pabucks-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pabucks-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of BOB Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 4:27 PM To: pabucks@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PABUCKS] On the other hand... Have this happen over the last few years in other areas.? Is LDS site the only other gen. site than Ancestry?? Many of my state, county sites are shutting down until more research allows them to pick and choose.....Pretty damn presumptuous to use us all then charge.....bob long -----Original Message----- From: Linda <linda@maine.rr.com> To: pabucks@rootsweb.com <pabucks@rootsweb.com> Sent: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 3:03 pm Subject: [PABUCKS] On the other hand... I was upset at first about Ancestry charging the fee for info I had provided but look at it this way- some of us wouldn't be as far along in our genealogy if Ancestry didn't provide this service. If you are unwilling to share your info with them the rest of us will never see it!! I recently paid my annual fee and their costs have come down this year. I did a lot of research the old way, libraries, historical societies etc., but its nice to hear from people who have seen my tree online at Ancestry and help others or have them help me. I hope this controversy stops. It seems to be dominating the site. There is certainly nothing we can do about the situation.
