.  The point I thought I raised, and now DO raise, is that I am
very much put-off by Ancestry.com's approach here.  Enter the arena as a
free site, tell folk you'll stay that way, invite them to submit their
family information and their databases to share with like-minded folk and
then start to charge for it.  You are absolutely right, of course, "you
don't need to use or pay if you don't want."  And that IS the point.

Sorry to have ruffled any feathers...

I am sorry - but I must have missed something.  I have been using Ancestry
for about 3 years now.  The same databases that were free then are still free
now.  The world tree, the SSDI, and a few others.  Those were the only ones
that Ancestry promised would remain free.  The same databases that were for
pay are for pay now.  As far as I know the only thing that has changed is
that they no longer put the new databases out there for free for the first 10
days.  Have I missed something - did some announcement come down that I did
not see?  Thanks so much - Emma
