Not sure if they do or not. I like the idea that they still provide free space, just wary of the connection with Ancestry and praying that they don't decide to all of a sudden renig and put charges on the sites already there or remove them. Man that would be a huge loss for folks. That is why I keep the Marshall & Maury Sites over at USGENNET. People like "me" run it. With Ancestry being their "daddy", I would think that they don't ask for donations any more. I don't ever remember seeing anything asking for it. Matter of fact, lets see, I have been in this since 98, and I don't remember ever seeing it. I will have to ask Pam if she remembers when Brian sold to MyFamily, that might be when we didn't see donations any more.
