You can use a service such as feed43.com to create your own for free. Plug the following feed url into your RSS reader of choice and you'll get the latest ancestry updates:<BR/><BR/>http://feed43.com/0163328863831843.xml<BR/><BR/>It's a barebones feed with the name of the database and a direct link to it.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully some day ancestry will create their own, more robust, RSS feed. It would be great if it contained a description for the new databases and a list of changes for updated ones.<BR/><BR/>I'm also hoping for the day they provide translated db titles for their non-English databases so I don't have to copy and paste them into Google Translate to see if they are relevant to me or not.k9rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219362746480184714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-55386884362656802482009-02-11T09:34:00.000-07:002009-02-11T09:34:00.000-07:00Insider- Good suggestion.

Twitter is playing this role as well for some people.<BR/><BR/>We recently made some improvements to our RSS feeds on our boards for similar reasons to what you mention here. We are looking at what it would take to RSS-enable our new/updated databases list. We'll keep you posted.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Eric Shoup<BR/>VP Product, AncestryUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027702711225935404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-34507748441614346942009-02-11T07:31:00.000-07:002009-02-11T07:31:00.000-07:00If you could get newspaperarchive.com to twitter w...If you could get newspaperarchive.com to twitter when they add new papers I would (almost) be in heaven!
