I think it's simply that most people don't contribute. I contributed a
substantial amount to the Switzerland and Jefferson sites and most sites simply don't
have somebody who contributes this.

Bob, do you suppose that some of the counties don't have information because
people don't want to contribute their research for everyone? This MAY be
the reason.
As far as Ancestry, I have had the full database since they first began.
Ancestry now owns the GenWeb system. Ancestry is a very expensive site but
really has the most to offer. The information has errors as do all genealogy
websites. I do what I can to correct them when I find them. I hope others do
too.
I live in Texas, but I am doing quite a bit of research in Indiana counties,
including Switzerland and Jefferson Counties. Due to my health, it is
impossible to physically go there. I truly depend on other researchers for help,
mostly through the Indiana GenWeb sites.
