Sadly I received this information today. This wasn't the agreement
Ancestry
told us when they bought Rootsweb. I know many would rather not use
Ancestry since you have to pay to use. There are free sites that can be
used like Family Search @
https://www.familysearch.org/ Only no message
boards. There's also Wikitree @
https://www.wikitree.com which is free
and
they do have message forums. I do like Wikitree they require sources for
each person listed which is a big help in research. Yes they is some
incorrect info listed, but the good thing is if you see info not correct
you
can go in and edit and fix the misinformation and add source info to back
up
the change.
If any of you are interested I can start a Chase group on Facebook if
enough
are interested in me doing so.
I will miss this group some of you have been on this page with me for since
the late 90's
Thanks,
Lisa Martin

Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will
be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or
accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer
be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an
archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After
that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on
RootsWeb.
As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a
great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message
boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account.
Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this
community.
Sincerely,
The RootsWeb team
