And posted by mistake to the card catalog.<br /><br />The numbers were "there" since I have a screen shot of it. I don't know how to photoshop stuff like that... <br /><br />When I take a screen shot, I don't have the URL on the screen.

I will go check with IE7 in a moment.<br /><br />I don't know why that happened - but it happened! It concerned me enough that I wrote the post last night.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-4652873718503757032010-01-05T09:25:27.564-08:002010-01-05T09:25:27.564-08:00I see your point Elyse but it is no secret I have ...I see your point Elyse but it is no secret I have been concerned about Ancestry's direction and priorities for sometime now. I think I will visit their website and see if I can find a mission statement. I really want them to branch out to an ancestryplus level that can be a true serious tool for research, sharing, and archiving. if not them. Then someone else---rootsmagic?? Smart suggestion::: ancestry to hire rootmagic to maintain integrity and monitor this higher level platform. They can charge more but really have something they can be proud of and BE the genealogy site. Like the rolls royce of sites.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648833796647763177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-42085352118263454152010-01-05T09:25:08.589-08:002010-01-05T09:25:08.589-08:00Randy, where did you get your numbers from?

I'm looking at the card catalog and I see 766,066,998 for public member trees and 205,844,757 for private member trees.<br /><br />I'm using the link:<br />http://search.ancestry.com/search/CardCatalog.aspx#ccat=hc%3D25%26dbSort%3D5%26filter%3D0*42%26<br /><br />and I see the same numbers in the old search version of card catalog.<br /><br />Can you point me to where you saw this?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Anne Mitchell<br />Product Manager, Ancestry.com SearchAnne Mitchellhttp://www.ancestry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-14237171702882897212010-01-05T08:26:58.245-08:002010-01-05T08:26:58.245-08:00Randy -

So who's to say that someone else hasn't?Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483136317329166274noreply@blogger.com
