..and what would be the quality of that information?
I have no confidence in the standard of Ancesty's transcription and indexing work. Nor am I impressed by the quality of trees submitted to them. All based on a foundation of sand, I fear. Needs a great deal of checking before being accepted as anything but conjecture - but then we all check the validity of our sources, don't we?

That is, indeed, one worry. ;-(


whilst I am a self acknowledged ancestry evangelist
(because I wanted more UK data)

Do treat all this kind of stuff as a secondary source or worse

ancestry has a market saturation problem

they built on expansion but when there is no more census data to upload
how are they to attract new customers and retain the old?
