We will still operate the same way. The files will still be free and will NOT be sold, or merged with other databases. Our URL will be the same, and our technical support will not be compromised. http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/merge.html (from Karen Isaacson) >From Ancestry's press release: http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/rootsrelease.htm "As part of its ongoing commitment to the genealogical community, MyFamily.com, Inc. will continue to support volunteer, non-profit organizations such as The USGenWeb Project (www.USGenWeb.org), Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild (ISTG.rootsweb.com), The Free Births, Marriages, and Deaths Project (FreeBMD.rootsweb.com), and other groups that provide free genealogical content." The guidelines of the USGenWeb Archives are still in place and in force. Linda
