: For those who are confused, I'm posting the answer I use on HelpDesk for
: questions about OWT here. This will *not* be read as "opening the topic
for
: discussion on LO"---it's still off topic. However, anyone who wants to
: swipe my answer is welcome to do so. <g>

: Ancestry is *not* charging for access to trees or selling trees: access
will
: remain free from both the RootsWeb and Ancestry side as it has always
been.
:
: What Ancestry is offering for an extra charge is access to a special
search
: engine to search the trees for you. Folks can still search the trees
: manually or browse the trees for free the same way they always have.
:
: Think of it as a research assistant: you can hire someone to help you look
: for your ancestors, or you can research yourself for free. Hiring a human
: research assistant doesn't sell them the data being researched, or change
: the rules so that only they are allowed to look.
:
: That's essentially what it is, except that it's computerized, not human.
