[Update: Amy Rubenstein of Ancestry.com has pointed out a few inaccuracies
within this post and I have corrected information as needed. Some claims
made are still open for debate, so rather than strike statements that are
less than wholly resolved, I have added Rubenstein's statements directly
after these sentences.]
Ancestry.com has long been a government contractor, converting millions of
hard copy records into electronic files. In conjunction with the National
Archives & Records Administration (NARA), it has performed monumental tasks
like indexing and scanning all US Census records from 1790 through 1930

Or has it?

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
