What I wonder is if Ancestry's excellent search capabilities will be integrated with Rootsweb's rather poor one. I mean, if you search a composite search engine and get hits on some free Rootsweb data and some subscription Ancestry data, that could be a good thing for genealogists and for Ancestry. I also suspect that MyFamily will solicit sign-ups on Rootsweb proper and on the free Rootsweb pages. It just would be really stupid not to do this. This is business, and MyFamily is a for-profit business.
Genealogy is one of the most popular uses of the Internet right now.
Let no one be naive about this. You know she is hosted on RootsWeb. I wonder if there is any conflict of interest. There has to be a conflict. Sierra will now just host Cyndi.
