May I put my word here in about ANCESTRY!! Ancestry has been buying up all the genealogy site for years now and charging us money for our own information that we have spent years collecting. Ancestry is a MONOPLY! and this is why I do not belong any more. I gave up my membership more than 5 years ago and swore that I would never rejoin them. Now that I have put my two words in I will go back and be disgusted that they can do this to us.

I wasn't aware of it. Rena, I am wondering what your thoughts are about Rootsweb changing to Ancestry? How they will handle the information we share on this forum? I have never minded sharing my information with anyone, but I sure don't want it to be sold to enhance Ancestrys money making business. Most of our research was done by time consuming hard work and expense. For a company to have to do nothing but "copy and paste", put it on a CD and sell it, bothers me. I have read some blog from the website below, but I would like to hear what our list has to say about it.
