Older Choir Music

Our church is dissolving, and everything must be appropriately passed on to other churches. Is older choir sheet music something you can see a church wanting, or should it just be disposed of?

How Does Ancestry Decide Half Siblings?

So my parents' siblings have been suddenly showing up from time to time in my family tree. Three of my father's five sisters are now attached to my father on my family tree. All three show up as half sisters instead of full. This is not entirely surprising, because my grandparents had a tumultuous relationship and my grandfather wasn't around for the family much. However, two of the women who appeared are deceased. I presume one of their children or grandchildren got their DNA done through Ancestry and so their maternal DNA shows up?

I ask this because my mother's younger brother just appeared on my family tree. He is showing up as my mother's half brother, and this is shocking. I'm presuming Ancestry doesn't put people on your family tree unless they have DNA from that person or that person's direct relative? In this case, one of my cousin's sons has been showing up in the list of people I am related to for the almost two years I've been on Ancestry, but his grandfather just showed up on my actual tree as my mother's relation in the past month. So I'm presuming the half sibling thing is legitimate?
