Can you afford to lose this money??? Hi There have been a number of complaints in regard to ancestry.com on various mailing lists. I am not at liberty to state what these are or what they referred to at the time, except to say that at the time of checking them, I became extremely cautious about this web-site and determined that I would never, ever, give them details of my credit card. (My personal opinion, of course.) They seem very pushy at the very least, and I would not be surprised if there were advertising folk connected who receive a commission. I could be wrong, and would be the first to apologize if such were the case. Nevertheless, the inputs from various emailing lists seem to indicate that all is not well with ancestry.com's way of doing business. So, take care. Sincerely Graham Price Melbourne Oz
