What Will Become of Ancestry.com?

    I cannot help but wonder what will happen to the realm of family research.  I am associated with a museum which also houses archives which can be used to research one's family roots.  A typical person comes to use our facilities looking for information about their grandfather or great grandmother, looking for documents concerning their birth, their death, their burial, their marriage, and the like.
    The use of websites such as Ancestry.com also provide services which accomplish such purposes, using such sources as census records, military records, immigration records, etc.  Such sites have to preserve the privacy of those who are now living, and because of that, the most recent census available to the public is the 1940 census.  That census was made when the American culture was based on the traditional family.  But the traditional family is dissolving before our very eyes.
    What will happen to family research in the future when people are studying their ancestors in an environment when the past may include much different family structures.  It is hard enough now to research something as simple as an adoption.  Can you imagine the complexity of researching families when it may be almost impossible to determine who the biological father may be?  Or imagine researching a family where the marriage is one consisting of two males......or two females?   And one could only throw up their hands in frustration when thinking about how bigamy might throw additional challenges into the mix.
    Will this even be called family research any more.  It might have to be called something like "Relationship Research".  What would become of terms such as mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc.?  What a mess!  I'm kind of glad I won't be around to see it.
    Ancestry.com may just display a surrender flag.
