Dear Fellow CARTER Researchers,
Here's the email Tripod sent to me:
"Dear Tripod member:
Over the past weekend, Tripod experienced a technical problem with one of
our automated
scripts. This error resulted in the removal of several legitimate member
accounts. We
assure you that your site was not singled out for any personal reason, nor
was it deleted
because of its subject matter. Bugs are indescriminate and target everyone
equally, no
matter who they are or what they are passionate about.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience
this may have caused
you. We certainly understand how much time, effort and care goes into our
members' sites, and
are working steadily to reverse the problem.
We have already begun the process of restoring Tripod accounts. We expect
this to be complete
within the next 48 hours. You will receive a confirmation email once your
site has been
restored.
If you emailed Tripod concerning another service or abuse issue, we ask that
you resubmit this
request using one of the following addresses:
Abuse issue: abuse(a)tripod.com
General Questions: membership(a)tripod.com
Thank you for your patience in this matter. We are grateful for your loyalty
to the Tripod
service and we value your membership.
The Tripod Team"
Please visit
http://members.tripod.com/texson for the CARTER Census On-line
website. Its free! There is a search engine for the CARTER indices for the
US census up to 1850. Also a message board for Carter inquiries as well as a
guest book. There is a Hall of Honor for the Carter researchers who indexed
several states and years for the Carter surname. The site would not have
been possible without them. Enjoy!!!
