If I have already subscribed to Genline, will Ancestry credit me with a longer subscription? Should I wait for Anc to be the provider of the Genline data rather than subscribing now? I'm about to go to Sweden and will be attending a genealogy conference there. Wonder of wonders, the conference will conduct virtually parallel sessions in Swedish and in English. One sessions will differ. Looking forward to seeing how my world subscription works with Genline. If I have already subscribed to Genline, will Ancestry credit me with a longer subscription?

I purchased translation software a number of years ago, including two upgrades, but find this "google translate" often does a better job. It's not perfect, but between it, "Poltran" - another online translator and my software, I can pretty much figure out what my cousin in Poland is trying to tell me. It won't help in translating the text, since you can't "cut and paste" from it, but you can at least do the "table of contents" to know where to look. I actually found a list of people with my maiden name.

The url is: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start Personally, I find both ancestry and the pilot site great partners in research!

Also,I check "Recent Genealogy Databases" every day, and envy those of German ancestry with all the information that is posted there! sigh.......I wonder if I'll ever see anything from Poland? If the statistics are correct, there are twice as many Poles as Swedes in the US, so I think there would be great interest in any records that could be acquired, which I realize might be more difficult then other countries, but I continue to hope.

THey are not complete or indexed and you MUST know the parish, but if you do you might get lucky. Also the records at the TREBON archives (http://digi.ceskearchivy.cz) (parish records) are online as well. They (the Czech government) are trying to get them digitized for the whole country and available for free. Good luck. for #3 Carol:

I ask this because I've noted for some time that so many of the databases added are in German. Since I have no German ancestors, I find myself wading through and sometimes missing a database in English that I am interested in because it is mixed in with the multitude of German databases. Has ancestry ever considered refining "Recently Added Databases" to categorize them by language? I think it would be a great help for anyone looking in any language. It would also be very helpful to see if the English language databases which seem to have faded in numbers are being updated.

The Genline records are wonderful. I had no idea that the Swedes were just great record keepers. Though the records are in Swedish, it is very easy to figure out once you learn some of the basic family history related terms. Great job Ancestry! This is fabulous news!
