Oh, goodie gumdrops...

I think.

I guess.

Ancestry seems to be pretty excited about it.

From Genealogy Insider blog, the news that Ancestry finally found a private buyer.

~snip~
There are no anticipated changes in Ancestry.com’s operating structure. Ancestry.com will remain headquartered in Provo, Utah, with a continued large presence in San Francisco, Dublin, London and other international markets.
Except maybe a price hike on subscriptions?

Maybe not immediately.

But you hide and watch...

An Ancestry tree owner has copied and pasted wholesale from one of my blog entries as a "story" on his/her tree.

I've posted a comment on the "story" and notified legal at Ancestry...

Is there some legit reason we cannot have Hungary as a country on the picker for where someone was born?

I mean, just sayin'...

I get emails regularly from all my subscription genealogy research services.

Ancestry sent me one last month that I just set aside, so I went to read it today.

Come take a look, they said, at the new records we have in the passport applications.

So I did.

Lookie what I found.

My granddaddy's passport application. He was assisted by the US Consulate in Panama to get an emergency passport, since he had already been living Panama for over a year. (Don't know if that was an oopsie or not.)

I guess passport photos have always looked really serious...

Dad says he thinks the 500 Long Street address is now Phoenix Avenue in Russellville.
