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.

 
Regards,
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.
