The more sites to which you upload your tree, the more chance of someone else who shares your relatives seeing it and making contact with you. Rootsweb (which is owned by Ancestry I believe) may be free but it doesn't have the vast collection of searchable databases which the Ancestry site has: that's what you are paying for. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
