I've been away so please forgive me if this has been answered. Basically it
sounds as though Rootsweb (Ancestry) will no longer have county surname lists
or query boards. Is that correct? So we are now able to transfer those two
entities to our own sites (and jolly well better if we wish to save the
information)? Rita - from the cave

Query Express will essentially cease to exist on May
1st when Surname Helper (SH) is killed.
If you have any queries stored:
http://qexpress.rootsweb.com/sites/xx/cccccc.html
where xx = 2 letter state code
cccccc = first 6 (or less) letters of your county name
You will need to snag your queries, because I do not
know how long rw will keep the connection open once
they shut down SH.
QE is also being used by many WGW countries, please
pass the word on to them.
