Hi, Grace
I'm sorry to be so confusing.
What I did...and still exists, is currently at:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ctfairfi
(for example)
See? I linked the NEW site from the home page for Fairfield County.
From the gentleman who wrote me, I violated/am violating their user
agreement.
I wouldn't call it a "redirect" but apparently, it is.
So, when I queried the help desk, they suggested I reload all the data back into the old
site and make an announcement, not a link that it had moved.
That seems confusing for the visitor--and it seems that we've been over at
CTGenWeb.org long enough that I'll just dump the directory
on Rootsweb.Ancestry, thank them again for their years of free space, and be gone.
Does this make it more understandable?
I hope so.
Maureen,
can you clarify? Do you mean we can't link to any websites that originate
from rootsweb?

Thanks so much for the update, Kathleen!
Of note:
I heard from the help desk folks at
Rootsweb.Ancestry.com, recently, and
was informed that according to their AUP/acceptable use policy, I could
not post a link to the new site from Rootsweb. (They called it a redirect,
although it was not an automatic redirect.) I wrote back to ask how I
might redress the situation.
The gentleman kindly requested that I reload the site back on to their
server and just make a note that the original site had changed to the new
site.
That's way too confusing, so I will delete the RW index pages this week,
along with many thanks to them for their generosity, over the years.
Just a head's up, to let you know that you may receive a similar notice
and that it might be better for you to entirely remove the pages on
Rootsweb. At no time were they demanding or rude--they just asked me to
follow their "AUP/Acceptable Use Policy."
Thanks again, Kathy!
Maureen

Hello all,
Just to let you know I've moved all my pages off Rootsweb. I have replaced
them with redirects so hopefully no one gets lost. If you test them,
you'll
