Kathy- I'd prefer to direct people to the announcements made by RootsWeb in the RootsWeb newsroom where assurances are posted officially that confirm that all data housed on RootsWeb by individuals and volunteer projects will remain free and RootsWeb serves only as the distributor and host: http://blogs.rootsweb.ancestry.com/newsroom/ Please don't perpetuate rumor and innuendo on the list that has no basis in fact. Thanks! Joan, admin PAYORK@rootsweb.com ------------------------------------ In a message dated 5/2/2008 2:21:12 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, kathy_lf@verizon.net writes: I am not misleading anyone. Since ancestry banners and footers were forced upon us, there were no guarantees that in the future ancestry wouldn't make the data that was freely contributed, part of the paid subscription plan. All states moved, not just PA. Kathy **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food. (http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001)
