Hello Steve, SH> I recently discovered "Mundia", a service of Ancestry.com. SH> www.mundia.com I would hardly call it a 'service'. It is an attempt, like so many of this sort of web site, to gather free material to sell on to other individuals and commercial enterprises. To use your material as their stock in trade and to profit from it. Essentially to join up you agree to provide anything and everything you post to their web site freely and forever to their use, to sell on or amend as they see fit. In return they specifically grant you no rights whatever to use or store anything on their web with a few esceptions which may be stored on your own personal computer only. You would effectively be granting Ancestry.com copyright in your material and gaining nothing in return. Even by signing up to view the 'free' beta version you are granting them these rights, including that to use your personal information as they see fit. Read the 'terms': http://www.mundia.com/gb/TermsConditions among others: 5.
