I just checked and indeed it appears some records have been removed, including my Fromke family. Why I don't know. However, I would like to encourage folks to protest this decision.

When did this happen? That's awful! Is this also why Family Search now has limited images unless you pay for them? I'm getting sick of this!

How did FamilySearch get into this conversation? FamilySearch does not require payment to see images. It is an entirely free site.

Ancestry has become a wonderful aid for our family research. In the past I did it the only way available, travelling from repository to repository. Not to say I did not enjoy it, because it was wonderful when after hours of searching something was found, however, even then photo-copies had to be paid for. So, when Ancestry, and others, came along I had a lot of information but how wonderful it has/is for filling in the gaps and so much more. Companies are not in business as a charity. We pay our annual/monthly fee and have everything throughout the world at our fingertips 24/7 and I for one am grateful. You are not forced to pay them money so don't subscribe to them for access ... simple.
