In the early days, Ancestry would give free access to their records for a researchers gedcom upload to their site, some are still doing this. Additionally they scan other sites and gather family information for their own, I have seen materials they have 'lifted' off my family sites, but would have to pay a subscription for full access to it. sneaky plagiarists and thieves..!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-9455235751408119042014-06-08T16:32:01.221-07:002014-06-08T16:32:01.221-07:00As of September 2014 the Beta version of Mundia wi...As of September 2014 the Beta version of Mundia will merge with the paid Ancestry website.

It's so frustrating. The same issues have been reported for months and months with no response from Mundia at all, take a look at Mundia's facebook group, lots of issues- no support. Not a great advertisement for Ancestry.

As the previous person commented this is not the case and a lot of the information contained in these trees has no basis in reality .
