An announcement appeared in the RootsWeb Review this week and has been posted
in various other places, but just in case anyone missed it I'm copying it
here. We expect to be back up and running in about 24 hours. The downtime
will effect all of RootsWeb including mailing lists, GenConnect boards, and
all Web pages.
Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned
temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It
will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased
performance and reliability for future growth.
In the meantime, please take time to visit RootsWeb.com's sister sites --
Ancestry.com and
FamilyHistory.com -- where you will find additional tools
such as message boards, communities, and databases to help you in the search
for your ancestors.
Thank you for your patience.
