Subject: RE: [SC-USGWg] RootsWeb sites are Back
They obviously have prioritized the sites being restored. Maybe they don’t know for sure
which sites are actually USGenWeb; some of them were in pretty bad shape before the
shutdown.
It does say it will restore others upon request. So, this is a good time for all SC’s to
check their State and Counties to verify that all of theirs have been restored.
This is from the RootsWeb homepage:
“We have identified about 600 USGENWEB sites to bring back first. Owners of these sites
should have received an email with instructions on how to reset their password and get to
their content. These sites are now available from the appropriate GENWEB page. If you
believe you should have been contacted, please contact us: Questions about GENWEB
<mailto:rwmailinglists@ancestry.com?subject=Questions%20about%20GenWeb%20Site> .
Please include the name of your site and any other information you have.
Other sites will be reinstated upon request. We will update this page in the coming weeks
with a link to make this request.”

Subject: Re: [SC-USGWg] RootsWeb sites are Back
Interesting that this email says all USGenWeb sites have been restored while RootsWeb site
says about 600 sites were restored. Since over 1000 sites were reported by Denise as
still being on Rootsweb what happened to the 400 sites?

Sharing message just posted by Anne Gillespie Mitchell of RootsWeb/Ancestry:
The restoration of Hosted Websites has begun. All of the USGENWEB sites have been
restored. We will work on the WORLDGENWEB sites next. Sometime during the week of July 9th
a page will be posted where you can request to have your FreePages site restored. We will
need you to reset your password and then we will scan the content for malware, viruses,
etc. I'll post the page when it is ready.
And yes, they are still free. We are not charging for them.
They have also updated the RootsWeb homepage with information
