I'm reluctant to bring this up, but you should be aware of this before
subscribing to their service. I've been having trouble with Ancestry.com
spamming me - despite repeated requests to be removed from their list - for
several months. The most recent event: one of their people assured me that I
had been removed from the list - and I received yet another spam the next
day.
