On one of my mailing lists someone posted the following link. It gives
access to several of Ancestry's Civil War databases.

Yeah, right - and after you find your ancestor in the database, you
have to "register for free" with Ancestry. At least they're not
asking for a credit card number!

Thanks for the link! I've cleared up two ancestor's service records.

I just don't like having to give them my name and email address -
Ancestry is pretty darn good at spamming - I remember a thread awhile
back about them sending their newsletter out and how hard it was to get
it to stop coming (come to think of it, I haven't seen it come to my
mailbox for awhile - looks like the filters are working!)

Of course, I just gave a fake name and email address.....

So, give a fake name and address and get on with life.

I dunno, I don't use 'em.

Of course, I just gave a fake name and email address.....

So, what's the problem then?

I have never had a problem (I have three "accounts" with them, thanks
to a weak memory) - all one has to do is indicate in one's account
details that one doesn't want them to search on one's behalf, let one
know the results, send the news-letter etc.

I have a private email and a "junk mail" email address I use for things
like this and anything I need to register for on the net and have that
mail sent directly to my Delete file then I scan it for anything I do
want and then dump it all.
