How could ProGen possibly survive the appetite of Ancestry? I cannot attest to the work that PG does (have just seen them on WDYTYA) but the merger does through Ancestry.com's Expert Connect system into check. Ancestry.com obviously is looking to greatly expand research service offerings to customers. Perhaps they saw the thousands of potential cases being flushed down the toilet and figure they can grab several hundred more if they have a dedicated staff.
If you knew it or not, some information gleaned at the recent FGS conference in TN indicates Ancestry.com employees are already in on the project scene. They are allowed to bid on projects over a week old that have 0 or 1 bid. I ponder if when PG hits the ground running they will invade the project board and take the majority of the cases. They will have their "PG" logo on their profile.
The one item of interest is the new flow of traffic that is normally directed to PG will go to the boards...or whatever system they will change it to.
Good or bad, we will see. I sincerely hope though that the low bidding issue is resolved and we start getting free subs!
