[SPAM] Re: [Genealib] World Family Tree

[Forsyth, William]

World Family Tree is a pedigree (lineage-linked) database within
Genealogy.com.  Genealogy.com is own and operated by The Generations
Network, the parent company of Ancestry.com, Rootsweb.com, Family Tree
Maker, etc.
 
Here is a current list of what's in Ancestry.com that's **not** in the
Ancestry Library Edition (ALE):
 
*        One World Tree.  This is a computer-generated pedigree
database.

 

*        The third-party content in Ancestry's Historical Newspaper and
Obituary Collections.  This also includes the obituaries obtained from
ProQuest, which are available to libraries in the ProQuest Obituaries
product.

 

*        ProQuest's books in Ancestry's Families and Local Histories
Collection.  Those books are available in HeritageQuest Online.

 

*        PeopleFinder, which uses public records to locate living
people.

 

*        Filby's Passenger and Immigration Lists (PILI) and Gale's City
Directories.  These databases are owned by Gale Group and are licensed
to only Ancestry.com.

 

*        Biography & Genealogy Master Index (BGMI) .

 

*        Ancestry World Tree and Ancestry Message Boards are available
in ALE.  However, they are read-only.  Users cannot upload data, post
messages or reply to messages.

Bill Forsyth

My understanding from William Forsythe at Proquest is that anything that
is in Ancestry.com that is submitted by the general population is not
part of Ancestry Library Edition, so One World Tree, Family Trees,
message boards and the like are not included. Only verifiable databases
are part of ALE.

	Is the World Family Tree available only through a genealogy.com
subscription?  My library has a number of the cd bundles, but the
computer used to access them has given up the ghost.  We would prefer to
offer the information online.
