A response to your Help Desk message, "One World Tree," of Mon, 3 May 2004,
at 11:15 a.m. follows:
-------------------------
Trees uploaded to either side (RW/Ancestry) are visible from both sides.
Ancestry is *not* charging for access or selling trees: access will remain
free from both the RootsWeb and Ancestry side as it has always been.
What Ancestry is offering for an extra charge is access to a special search
engine to search the trees for you. Folks can still search the trees manually
or browse the trees for free the same way they always have.
Think of it like a research assistant: you can hire someone to help you
look for your ancestors, or you can research yourself for free. That's
essentially what it is, except that it's computerized, not human.
Will the family trees at World Connect be
included in the One World Tree Project?
