Dude

Hopefully they pay him enough so he can afford a yearly subscription.

After recent changes to the Ancestry site, why am I not surprised to see names like these taking over. Where as the support staff used to be a joy to work with, now you get politically correct double speak. Although they are not happy with me I'm sure after stating that the changes appeared to be of the type when new management comes in just wanting to make their mark instead of changes that would improve research.

Perhaps he will make certin that new products such as FTM actually work before foisting them off on the genealogical public. This means extensive testing for both functionality and speed performance. I hope Ancestry learned its lesson this time.

Personally, I want to see a pedigree chart on him. This is one of my family names. Maybe he's a cousin. I'm always looking for more relatives.

Or maybe he can sort out all the family tree's, where so much coping each other is done and no one has source's.And they want to brag about how many family tree's they have online, since only about 15 to 20% MAY BE RIGHT. And I hope he starts looking for his family tree with ALL 2 OR 3 MILLION names,since they have merged records.He may not have time to do all that!

Congratuations to Mr. Shoup on his new assignment, I wish him well. I also wish Ancestry.com well. In this tight economy I am sure it will be tough to stay alive. I have come to depend on Ancestry to save me from some of the expensive trips to the library, and also the instant access it provides to information that enables me to continue working on my research projects between trips to the library.

No matter what happens at Ancestry, some of your subscribers have to say something condescending about the company.

I, for one am sick of it. No one seems to get a break.

Enough, I say!

Yes, congratulation to Mr. Shoup! I am also interested in his pedigree chart as the Shoup surname is on my mother's maternal side of the tree.

It is interesting to note that Mr.Shoup apparently has no background in genealogy, only in selling things. Hang on.

Worried

It is truly frightening that someone with no apparent background or knowledge about genealogy "will be responsible for the product strategy, product definition and design for the global platform of Ancestry.com"
