I don't think that "Honest" and "Corrupt" would have been the only two choices available. There were probably a few descriptions in between. I have enough faith in the American people to believe that fewer than 51 percent think he's honest and way fewer than 54% think he cares.

Congratulations on the article. You spelled out clearly what responsible family historians should be doing with Find a Grave.

Not surprising. They have the possibility of doubling their original investment. Venture capital firms like Blackstone are generally less interested in actually operating a company than flipping it at a profit. The market is at an all-time high. I'm sure they're thinking it's time to sell.

I did after I clicked to see what it was. Sorry $5K a year is not going to happen. I'm guessing Ancestry's venture capital funders want more profit. I think Ancestry is the best genealogy site on the internet. But, it's not THAT great.

Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe the depravity of the Trump DOJ. I hope there will be a lot of pro bono attorneys lined up when the next Democratic administration comes in. There are going to be a lot of crimes to be prosecuted.
