Same was (is? Haven't looked recently) true of any files you put online at the FTM site. At some later point, Ancestry's parent company bought genealogy.com. Ancestry does not have those sort of terms, not back then, not now, but they did acquire access to that material which had the "anything we want to do with this, we can" sort of terms, and so chose to add it to the trees. Not necessarily something I'd have done, but not a violation of the terms under which the files were submitted, at all. --pig On 5/6/06 18:14, "Mrsrubi@aol.com" wrote: > My family tree was taken by Ancestry from a submission that my daughter made > to Family Tree Maker about 4 years ago.
