I have become queasy about the whole online genealogy thing. Ancestry would not let me go even after I ended my membership. I finally retired the email address they had for me. (I have a lot of email addresses just for that reason!). The gedcom format was developed by the LDS. Ancestry and just about all the other genealogy sites are based out of Utah and owned by Ancestry.
The LDS church has a peculiar habit of posthumously baptizing people. The gedcom records for my family that were on Ancestry.com had posthumously baptized a number of my ancestors. I know it's really put me off of using those services. I really am not posting this to start a great debate or flame war or whatever. Do your own research and come up with your own conclusions if you care to. Wikipedia has a good article on the company and on posthumous baptism. Contact me off-list if you have a comment. >Hi Folks > >For instance, I can't see anywhere in the meagre on-line help about >downloading the tree... > >-- >Ron Savage >http://savage.net.au/ >Ph: 0421 920 622 -- Lewis Kirk www.dmzgraphics.com 803-787-3450
