Betty, Thanks for posting the copyright information. This is good to know. I just posted a message in response to the Ancestry automatic renewal. That is true, subscriptions are automatically renewed IF you do not follow their policy for cancellation. They send an email a few weeks before the subscription is due, and in it, they tell you the subscription can only be cancelled or changed by placing a telephone call to them. I cancelled part of my subscription the end of May, and they only billed me for the census records, which is all I wanted to keep. I have also cancelled a subscription due to a move, and due to a crashed computer in the past, and I have had no trouble with them automatically billing me for it. Thanks again, Betty B.
