Ancestry is cancelling MyCanvas and other services as of September 3. [View all]

I went to their Facebook page, as did many others, to pitch a fit, and did so repeatedly.
What happened is that in late 2012, an investment company bought them. So now, they
are doing the usual investment company thing, stripping everything they can to make a
short-term profit and then they will dump Ancestry back on the market.

Makes me sick.

I was hoping to produce a rather detailed book next year. Now doing so will be a gigantic
pain in the butt, cost likely months of extra effort, and so less likely to get done at all.
Meaning 10 years of work go capooey pretty much.

I'm just sickened.

Maybe if enough people gripe they will change their minds.
