Sure nice to see some true wisdom on this site, not uninformed xxxx.
Let's all work together... could have worked through TWO brickwalls in
the time wasted with chatter.
Thanks, again, Emma, and others.

Yes it is........

When you access the ancestry world tree or message boards ancestry asks
that
you register. That way you can update your information, edit your
messages,
etc. However, they do not charge for use.

However, you can access the same information by going to the mail
Rootsweb
site at:
www.rootsweb.com
Scroll down to the section called Family Trees World Connect

Then click on World Connect Project Main Page

Then do your search. This gets you to the same information submitted
by
users that is on the ancestry page. Ancestry provides the servers for
all the
rootsweb activities and data - free to users. That includes all these
mail
lists.

So you can access the user provided data from either the ancestry site
or the
rootsweb site but it is the same data.

The same goes for the message boards. They too are free. You can
access
those as well from either the ancestry site or the rootsweb site.

Thanks - Emma
