4. And they make money by getting you to give them your whole tree, then they break it

apart and sell it as leafs in little bits to your cousins and descendants for all eternity. That has kept me from freely sending my tree on to my family on FTM. But I've decided to risk that one of somebody will give the tree away to ancestry in order that some family will currently have access to the 4 boxes of data I input into FTM. We are just at the point where we don't know each other anymore, 3rd and 4th cousins. I have the address of I think at least one member from each branch. It is now or never. Doubt when those four boxes of material make it to the Canadian Archives that anyone will find them. Better to disseminate it on FTM dvd now. So we have control over it for a little bit.
