Editorial note It appears to this writer that Ancestry.com places numerous bogus sites on the Internet. The sites promise free genealogical information. When one goes to the site, Ancestry.com implies they have the requested information; however, Ancestry.com will only release the information when one signs up as a paid subscriber. According to this writer, the “bait and switch” techniques and ubiquitous deceptions are offensive .
