Sorry - I've been around the block a time or two also - since 1995 - When Ancestry was free - and they hadn't taken over Rootsweb, which they are slowly dismantling and putting on their paid pages, even though the contract was that Rootsweb and its information would always remain free of charge. I was just venting, which I seem to have to do re Ancestry once or twice a year. Jan J. Leigh Strange, CCHT, RMT.
