Isn't ancestry.com part of the LDS Church? I know they put a lot of money into digitizing all those public records around the USA and the world, but do they get federal tax breaks for being a church? It seems a little bit confusing to me if that is so, that they can then charge so much to allow people to view data from public records. Perhaps I just do not understand the whole story behind ancestry.com.<br><br>Paulette<br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">-----Original Message-----
