Now, I'd never put you down as cynical, Maggie


Mind you, those with Jewish ancestors have HUGE numbers of unhelpful matches. I manage one tree with 181k distant matches.
I am a natural cynic but I tend to not dwell on my cynicism for fear of passing it on to other people

There is a view that they are going to split off the health side of it which is a worry, I haven't gone anywhere near that side of Ancestry and do not intend to, my only interest is genealogy.

As every sensible person involved in the FH business would advise is always backup information, keep sources independently on own computers and have an exit strategy.

I don't tend to upload any photos or documents on my online FH, everything on there can be easily found online.

Plenty of rumours around where the equity company that is buying Ancestry political and financial allegiances lay which should be kept a close eye on.
