Dan,
What you have now at the top of your pages is a banner placed by The
Generations Network, owner of RootsWeb and Ancestry.
That banner says:
Hosted by RootsWeb... an
Ancestry.com community.
That banner is prominently placed at the top of your pages. Many
members of the USGenWeb Project believe that this banner makes it
appear that USGenWeb sites are part of Ancestry.
TGN was kind enough to create a banner especially for USGenWeb sites
hosted on RootsWeb. The special banner features "USGenWeb"
prominently in the upper left corner and downplays the part about
being an
Ancestry.com community.
The TGN/Ancestry/RootsWeb banner cannot be removed. However, you have
the opportunity to substitute the USGenWeb banner for the TGN one.
You can compare the appearance of the banner on your site with the
USGenWeb banner here:

I certainly understand that you already are in compliance with the
GAGenWeb rules by having the USGW logo on your page. I hope you will
agree with Ed and me that the USGenWeb banner is better for our
project sites and less confusing for our researchers. It leaves no
doubt that the site is part of the USGW project.

Vivian,
Is it required? I prefer not to have it on my sites. I already
have the required USGenWeb logo.
Thanks,

Hello, all,
The new banners are now on all the RootsWeb sites. Several of you
with sites hosted by RootsWeb already have added the code enabling
the special USGenWeb banner. Thanks to all of you!
However, many of you have not added the code. Ed and I urge you to do
this as quickly as possible. If you do not know how to insert the
code, please write Ed or me off-list.
Thanks,
Vivian
