If you have submitted a family tree to
Ancestry.com, you should know of
the change about to be implemented by them. The Family Trees that have
been donated to Ancestry for free distribution to other researchers are
about to be sold by subscription: the OneWorldTree Preview cost will be
$49.95 for 14 months. If you'd prefer that your information was not
sold, there is a link below which will take you to a set of instructions
on opting out by deleting your tree.
After clicking on the link and arriving at the page, click on "What's a
preview?" near the top of the page.
Read thoroughly and then click on "View our checklist" (which appears on
#3).
Among other things, you will see the following sentence: "If for any
reason you do not want your tree to be part of the new OneWorldTree
service, you must delete it from the Ancestry World Tree database by
tentatively May 21, 2004." This is the link:

no interest to the folks on the list who don't have trees at Ancestry,
please direct any discussion or questions to me at:
