I hope all that have any concern about your data will read the following that has been sent to me from the FamilySearch website. I assume that those of you that have used FamilySearch over the years have noticed several changes, one of which, they now show you where to find certain census giving an option to the ancestry.com link. From a business point of view, one would have to assume that Family Search is now either being paid by ancestry.com or has some type of contract with them. [I doubt you'll see on Target's website a link to go to Walmart or any other competing business.] Lots of us, as researchers have spent thousands of hours searching and collecting data, a lot of us before the internet existed, yes Family Search has been "free" all this time which has been great, but I assume most of you have a paid subscription to ancestry.com and that you also know that ancestry.com has bought other genealogy websites in the recent years. In dealing with ancestry.com and listening to their commercials on TV, they are all about numbers which sounds great on their commercials. A lot of us that contributed to Findagrave were surprised to find out there is now some type of connection to ancestry.com and other genealogy websites. I have no idea what FamilySearch has planned, but you be the judge from their statements below as I've underlined. "Licenses and Rights Granted to Us. By submitting content to FamilySearch, you grant FamilySearch an unrestricted, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, and perpetual license to use any and all information, content, and other materials (collectively, “Contributed Data”) that you submit or otherwise provide to this site (including, without limitation, genealogical data and discussions and data relating to deceased persons) for any and all purposes, in any and all manners, and in any and all forms of media that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate for the furtherance of our mission to promote family history and genealogical research. As part of this license, you give us permission to copy, publicly display, transmit, broadcast, and otherwise distribute your Contributed Data throughout the world, by any means we deem appropriate (electronic or otherwise, including the Internet). You also understand and agree that as part of this license, we have the right to create derivative works from your Contributed Data by combining all or a portion of it with that of other contributors or by otherwise modifying your Contributed Data."
