When I started using Ancestry and Roots all was free....Then I get emails
saying all the info I had put on the sites was on a CD and I could BUY IT!

Thanks for the input, Debbi,
I know we all use the message boards, but they sometimes seem so random.
Genealogy.com doesn't notify us when we get a reply (or if they do, I
don't
have the magic word that makes them do it) and there are a couple of ways
to
post on those sites--by county and by surname. Mostly people post by
surname,
and that isn't going to help me help them because I won't see them.
However,
having a query page means more work for me, and I already have a lot of
work
to transcribe and put up on the web page. So I may not be doing that.
Here's something to think about. Since Ancestry charges for information,
do
you think they will eventually go to charging for message boards? And do
you think they will glean information from our messages and put them on
CDs and
sell them? Just asking!
