>I haven't heard anything about a CD. Here's what Myra Gormley had to say. >She edits RootsWeb week in review that we all receive every week. She says >it's a new search engine that you pay extra for. margy Yes, I've upgraded my Ancestry.com subscription to include OneWorld. OneWorld is a search engine. For free you can still look at individual family trees which have been submitted to Ancestry.com. But the OneWorld search engine combines the information from various family tree submissions, saving you the work. For example, suppose 3 people have submitted family trees for Alford Snodgrass (I just made up the name). One says he was born Feb. 12, 1834 in Delaware. Another says that he was born 1834 in Delaware and married to Penelope Springer (another made up name). A third says that Alford b. Feb. 12, 1834 was the son of James Henry and Malissa Snodgrass (more made up names). OneWorld would be 'smart enough' to put these together as likely matches. So in OneWorld, you would find Alford Snodgrass, husband of Penelope Springer, son of James Henry and Malissa Snodgrass, with two alternate birthdates - 1834 and Feb. 12, 1834. All 3 submitted family trees would be listed as sources, and you could click on them individually from there. You could also click on a map showing you the distribution of the Snodgrass surname in the 1920 census (in order to see the migration pattern). Click on another button and you could see info on the origiin of the Snodgrass surname. It is really no different from paying for access to the census records. The census records themselves are available free of charge in various places - the 'add-on value' is to be able to access them on your home computer with a search engine for most of the years. Not everyone will need or want the search engine. But it is an add-on feature, not an attempt to make money from what people have freely made available. Vicki Hill
