<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe it is all one and the same. At one time
I tracked all the name changes at the Family History Library which used to be
the Latter Day Saints in Provo Utah. They changed to the Family History
Library with the same logo. Then they changed the home page a little. The next
thing they did was create the my family.com name. They had genealogy.com
already. I believe that because all the CDs they sold were created from the
family history centers. Next Ancestry.com acquired genealogy.com and took over
all of their data which they have in books, family trees etc. However you
cannot find the submitters name because those were linked to a paid
subscription on Genealogy.com. Next the myfamily.com changed to The Generation
network.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All that free information available at the family
history library was no longer available. So the small get smaller and the big
get bigger and in the end it is going to cost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I may not have the timing quite right but I think
this is what has happen. Mainly because I once subscribed to genealogy.com and
Ancestry.com and noticed the genealogy.com was no longer posting any new
information!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And I wonder if Pro Quest is also in the mix
somewhere.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV id=compText>I have always wondered about the ancestry.com services -
while they are fascinating,and the full access is pretty amazing as far as
what I have seen of it, it all seems so expensive, so I use my public
library for access. 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>
