<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>

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>
