So I’ve been a member of ancestry.com for well over 10 years and done lots of research and compilations As of recently Ancestry changed its membership terms and now you can practically do nothing on a free account unless you have all the information in front of you. For years and years and up until recently, ancestry allowed you to click on a potential hint, review it and accept or deny the details of it to build your family tree. Now the free account, you have to manually put everything in and can’t even view hints to see potential matches anymore, which makes the app feel like it’s completely hidden behind paywalls and there’s no difference in a piece of paper and a free ancestry account now. I think their new terms is what is going to stray me away from the app, as I personally don’t think $70-100 for 6 months is worth it, considering it used to all be free, minus viewing the full documents and photos. I’d like to hear others opinions on this new change.
