I am not sure how to access American Ancestors otherwise.
Thanks

    If so, those are third party sites that have worked out with FS their showing there.

    It requires coding on the part of FS to send their sites queries that each individual site can parse and return results to the user.  It also requires the third party site to be performant and that they aren't overwhelmed by FS traffic coming there.

    There is probably some expectation that that process is stable and doesn't require code changes over time. It also might have to do with the agreement and the breadth of utility and cost to both parties. You could also imagine there probably could be hundreds of links there. Sorry that's a vague answer, because I can't give specifics.
