Below is a response to the message I posted yesterday about Ancestry's One World Tree. The way I read and understood the information page was what I posted yesterday. If I was incorrect my apologies. It still dones not change my views on 'pay for' sites though. Let's set the record straight,  Family Trees you submit to RootsWeb's WorldConnect and/or Ancestry World Tree continue to be free for anyone to access and search just as they always have been.  NOTHING has changed as to your use of WorldConnect/AWT's combined database. The new program that has recently come along is One World Tree (OWT), which is a new advanced subscription search feature  ( it's a tool) that matches data found in the free trees and some of the pay databases and census records found at Ancestry, and stitches it into a finished product to cut out the work of searching and matching data for the subscriber.  What the subscriber to OWT is paying for is the convenience of having the searching and matching done for him....not for accessing or searching the free family trees housed on their site.
