    I got that email too, but to be honest I don't understand the need for it to be done via mobile texts and won't be signing up for it, this was a link that was in my email http://www.ancestry.com/s49182/t23942/ancestry.com/text?UcdmID={015AE54B-0002-0000-0000-000000000000}&o_xid=49182&o_lid=49182&o_sch=Email

    I see they're developing smart phone apps. I don't know why anyone would want to do such research on their phone! There's hardly any genealogy emergencies!
