I am sure many will appreciate your pointer. I did, - thank you. However,I would advise that the datatbases may not be identical, even though Rootsweb is supported by Ancestry. Try a few sample search comparisons, the quantity of hits seem to be both plus and minus - with some being similar. (I just tried a few at random). This may be a function of the search engines. I simply wished to bring this change to everyone's attention. Regards, Larry
