I am very sorry to hear this as I have used the file many times to check on
my Causey line. If you publish your info, I would like to buy a copy.
Thanks for all you have done for the Causey family history. Linda
Wilson....from Rosella Bell Causey.

The "Descendants of William Causey, 1744-1828, of
Mississippi" site has
removed from the Internet. This includes the eBook on the extensive
genealogy of William Causey's descendants found in the "Killian Family
History - MS & LA, 1732-Present". It has always been my practice to keep the
family histories and genealogies accurate and reasonably up to date. But the
files have become very large and I no longer have the time and energy to
devote to editing the histories, and to keep them updated on-line.
Add to this fact that the policy of FamilyTreeMaker, Rootsweb, and
Genealogy.com (all now owned by
Ancestry.com) requires authors to relinquish
all copyright privileges and permit
Ancestry.com to offer the history as a
commercial product. While facts and records from public filings are not
subject to copyright, the analyses, photographs, stories, and original texts
are copyrightable in all other venues except those owned by
Ancestry.com.
Ancestry.com's policy means that all original passages of text, original
maps, and family photographs can be copied and commercially distributed by
Ancestry.com.
Because
Ancestry.com refuses to help protect the copyrights of authors who
research and publish extensive family histories, others who copy those works
and present them as their own are not subject to the rules of copyright.
And,
Ancestry.com then compiles those original reports and sells them to the
general public as commercial products.
This policy was unilaterally established by
Ancestry.com and anyone using
their services must agree to the policy or not be permitted to use
Ancestry.com's products or services. I object to this policy and choose to
not grant
Ancestry.com the right to take my proprietary work and profit from
it.
Regards...
