Today I received the following message from Jake Gehring of Ancestry. I
have accepted their generous gift to the USGenWeb Project with enthusiasm
and appreciation. I also received the necessary paperwork placing the
usgenweb.com domain in the name of The USGenWeb Project.

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that
Ancestry.com is
donating
the
usgenweb.com domain to The USGenWeb Project. This gift from
Ancestry will result in The USGenWeb Project exercising control over all
three of the usgenweb.xxx domains. Doc Schneider, who has been most
helpful in this process, has already notified Internic of the transfer to The
USGenWeb Project although it can take up to 30 days for Internic to update
their records. With this donation, Ancestry reconfirms its ongoing support
of volunteer genealogy projects such as The USGenWeb Project.
