My concern is that at aged 64 years, I want legacy to still be around, at least into my old age where I can say to my grandchildren, ok here it is, now it's over to you. Ancestry's resources easily tops My Heritage, so that is of a major concern, but then as the above link states, FTM was flogged off to the Ukraine. Everything boils down to money I suppose, until we can get software that'll write itself<g>, but in giving us a healthy discount (for registered Legacy users), maybe My Heritage is thinking beyond the dollar. Ancestry meanwhile is happy to make the money, but doesn't give discounts to family tree contributors, my chief reason for sticking with Worldconnect all these years. I'll be happy to sit back and see what happens; realistically what other choice do I have. I'm interested in this topic though.
