They certainly do NOT measure up to Legacy in that regard. I'm worried that Legacy may eventually be forced to operate the way that MH, Ancestry, and others do and lose one of their current competitive advantages.

Well I for one WANT them to share my information - that's how I have made contact with other researchers. As a resident of Australia, I get a tad snitchy with the US-Centric sites that are pretty much useless for the majority of Australian research. BUT I have had huge success with my German records on MyHeritage, and also the huge number of smaller country newspapers (NSW, Australia) - these smaller local newspapers have wonderful information on local people that is not available through other resouces (TROVE / National Library Australia). I've lost count of the number of personal articles I have for my family thanks to MyHeritage. If you don't want to expand your own family history research, then don't subscribe to ANY of the major subscription sites then you won't have anything to complain about. Oh - apart from the records and newspaper articles I have found on MyHeritage I have had some terrific DNA matches on MyHeritage - moreso than the other companies! One great thing with DNA Matches - you know the other people at least have some interest in family history if they've bothered to pay for DNA tests! I won't apologise for being a fan of MyHeritage - and as all the major subs companies do the same, I don't get caught out paying for something I don't want - I read the fine print! Regards ...

I have noticed a few times MyHeritage has sent things for me to fill in on my lineage on their site, I have answered yes, this is my family but I knew the records were indeed mine from other sites, I will be very careful to watch and make sure they are not charging me for my own records. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flegacyusers.com%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Flegacyusergroup_legacyusers.com&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb8d7123d7d28458fadf108d57598d131%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636544221553210506&sdata=TNV04TaloiTJwPaDbVgBKNWabyIQ15VlQEnG%2Bj2XINo%3D&reserved=0> Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mail-archive.com%2Flegacyusergroup%40legacyusers.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb8d7123d7d28458fadf108d57598d131%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636544221553210506&sdata=aCeZ4fq5mogsf81sIkIwXwrwl51wkABBfJckxtUFmqE%3D&reserved=0>
