Footnote is NOT owned by Ancestry. People who left Ancestry started the company. They hate Ancestry, actually. I have footnote and like it a lot.

I have Footnote as well. And one of the nice things, is that in digitizing the records, the quality of the copies is outstanding. In many cases, much better than you would receive if you sent away for the records.
