Being one of the early writers on Ancestry I have seen it go from a 'free' service, to a charge as it became more popular to now their making a profit off of our writing. That's why I am not writing on Ancestry.Com anymore. They are making money off of our personal writing and family documents and research on family lines. Yes I am for free enterprise but not when I retain no right to the information I provide based upon unique documents that exist no where else as many writers on Ancestry provide . I know there is a way to protect one's writing-------------------one way is to declare that the writing you are doing is copyrighted and include it on any writing you do. No doubt this does not fully do so. Regardless of my grouching--------Many Moose has done a good service on SI by starting this board and others adding to the list of resources. mj
