There is absolutely no chance Ancestry.com would go to places like Liberia or the Congo to acquire records. It simply won't be profitable for them. If FamilySearch did not do this work, most of the records from these countries would probably not survive even for the next 20 years. Circumstances in those countries are just too unpredictable.Françoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604119644678297947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-54370075396763685442011-10-11T00:46:29.133-06:002011-10-11T00:46:29.133-06:00You could also search Ancestry's job openings....You could also search <a href="http://corporate.ancestry.com/careers/globalcareeropportunities/" rel="nofollow">Ancestry's job openings</a>. Right now, they have an opening for a "Document Preservation" contractor position in Kansas City, MO, presumably at the <a href="http://www.archives.gov/central-plains/kansas-city/" rel="nofollow">regional National Archives facility</a>. I've previously seen similar openings here in Minnesota; scanning at the <a href="http://www.minnesotahistorycenter.org/" rel="nofollow">Minnesota History Center</a> in St Paul. Also in Maryland, at <a href="http://www.archives.gov/dc-metro/college-park/" rel="nofollow">the College Park National Archives facility</a>.MNFamilyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219791448054464725noreply@blogger.com
