Karen,
correct me if I am wrong but I think the
domain http://minnesotagravestones.org/ is
already in place and would only need to be resolved to Joy's host server.

Offer still stands. If y'all buy a domain name, I can host your entire web site.
if you do not want to have a domain, all county sites will be
http://theusgenweb.org/mn/meeker - replace meeker with your county name (or shortened for
counties like Yellow Medicine)

I can provide web space for any county that wants it - free, no ads
Your URL would be like
http://theusgenweb.org/mn/(your county name here)
For example, my Los Angeles County web site is here:
http://theusgenweb.org/ca/losangeles/
So is hosting at
theusgenweb.org no longer available or not a good idea for us? Looking
for a good solution like the rest of you are.

Subject: [MNGEN] RW & Ancestry
Good Afternoon,
It has been a while since RW was sold by Brian & Karen Leverich. They
now live here in my home County of San Luis Obispo, California.
I would imagine that the sales contract they had with Ancestry [two or
three owners ago] is most likely nearing it's end.
Joy is right, they will eventually take all the data on RW, re-brand and
put behind Pay-Per-View.
And none of us have enough ready cash to fight it even if we wanted to.
It is only a matter of time and if we are all smart, we will cut
ourselves loose of the behemoth and get on with the business of offering
free data to visiting researchers.
They will take anything they can get their hands on, why leave the door
open?
Martha
