Hasn't stopped them from spamming people to buy their y-dna test. I received such an advertisement just this morning. And you won't believe the huge savings their offering since it will soon no longer be available. It's 10% off! I rushed out and bought ten kits for all my cousins. Nothing like a 10% off, everything must go sale. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne R.

I also received an email saying that Ancestry is closing their MyFamily sites also and that people need to download their stored trees, data, stories, photographs, etc. It will also cease on 5th September.
