Ancestry’s new rules #general
Raina Accardi
I use Photoshop to add watermarks to photos. Using layers and transparency. I assume any photo-editing program and possibly a good word processing program can do it. There are also online services that will do it. https://makewatermark.com/

For anyone interested in a simple language interpretation of Ancestry's newest legalese, I would recommend Judy G. Russell's blog The Legal Genealogist.

You could put watermarks all over the images so that they will have to contact you for a clean copy if they want to use them in an ad.

others. I'm not going to waste my time chasing after strangers to get them to remove them, which they probably won't do anyway. Everything else on my Ancestry tree is public record. Why delete it? It's helped me find a lot of relatives and even ones I never knew existed. It's been a blessing. Jeri Friedman Port Saint Lucie, Florida

I have been reading Ancestry’s new Policy starting in about 2 weeks from now. It appears say that Ancestry can appropriate our work product and use our photos any way they want to. Which technically means they can freely use your pictures, for example, in a revenue raising ad.
I may be wrong about that but if I’m reading it correctly, what would someone suggest? My initial reaction was to sync with my FTM and delete my Ancestry tree. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
