Linda, I think it's important for all of us to be aware of negotiations that are going on between the USGenWeb's Advisory Board and TGN (The Generations Network), and the impact it might have on the USGenWeb and WVGenWeb projects should TGN insist on branding the web-pages that are hosted on Rootsweb. I've looked at the branding on the "freepages" that are hosted on Rootsweb such as the top and bottom of following URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kordyban/chart/relationship_chart.html And I think the few examples I've seen of the USGenWeb pages that were initially branded before it was removed had a strip at the top with "hosted by rootsweb" on the left and "an ancestry.com community" on the right without all the links between, and there was no bottom strip. It's the "an ancestry.com community" on the right that distresses me the most.

Hi all, I'm the Chairperson of the WorldGenWeb - the original mastheads proposed by TGN for the WorldGenWeb are the same as proposed for the USGenWeb To see the example visit http://www.worldgenweb.org/masthead.html I'm hoping that the discussions with the folks at TGN will change the wording so as to not create confusion. As they are now it is confusing.

However much it distresses anyone, the cold fact is, GenWeb *IS* part of the Ancestry community; our GenConnect boards turned in boards.Ancestry.... and our servers are owned, supported and maintained by Ancestry money. I don't say I approve of it, any more than I approve of Lee's surrender, but I do recognize it.
