The Ancestry site does have a message that they will sell your data as is after May 21st. Many of you may have a listing on Ancestry without knowing it as they have taken all the datas at Rootsweb and listed them ,notes and all, even if you requested they not publish notes.I have seen listings wherein I was musing to myself..sometimes bad jingles as Ancestry also has allowed anyone to upload anything even if you requested no unloads..it's a bit of a shock to read your interior thoughts all over cyberland. Actually, they have a sliding timetable as to when they will begin to charge just to look at the freely donated datas.Rootsweb has for years been the model of pure sharing and searching for the joy of it. I guess this makes them decoys or pimps..I'm not sure which. How long before Big Brother Ancestry decids it must extract a fee for Mail sites ?We all knew that merged stank. It's sad, and I'm angry.

If all people will stick together and stop their subscriptions to ancestry.com and send a copy to rootsweb maybe they will stop before they price themselves out of business.
