I have had trouble all day trying to get to ancestry.com. My unit says that there is no such site, and no matter how I try, it doesn't come up. Any one else having trouble with it today?? Rootsweb.com doesn't even link to it. So let me know guys, ok?? >>Also I have 2 sites worth checking out. One is tribalpages.com For those of us with no computer skills, and me with webtv and most of the genealogical software sites I can't use, Tribal pages, I can and it's very easy. You can gedcom in, gedcom out, it has ancestral, descendent and family trees, allows you to upload pics to the site and also has an event calender that helps on knowing who has a birthday or anniversary for any month you choose to look up. Give a looksee. >>Also, I have a wonderful picture site, that again, is simple, and webtv friendly. Webtv is just a glorified typewriter, no computer skills on it nor required, but that also leaves so many sites unavailable for me to use. But picturetrail.com is a great site, uploads by computer or e-mail, gives you album choices, picture frames, lets you describe the pics, and also you can make picture postcards to send out also from your uploaded pics. If anyone wants to see my album on like My Aunt Regina that the story on her discovery was in one of our last newsletters, I can send you that to look at, if you aren't sure what the site does or how the pics look after uploaded. >>That's it for this post. If anyone wants to see what my tribal pages looks like, e-mail me and I will give you my trial one that I used to test the site myself with. >>Roni Dillon

Roni, It appears that Ancestry has been up and down all day, or rather their DNS entry has had problems. From all the messages I have seen, it appears to be regional by ISP. Depending on the routing of one of the major carriers. On one of my ISPs, Ancestry is accessible but it is not from the other. I actually can get to "ancestry.com" but not to "www.ancestry.com". However, once I get there I cannot utilize any of their links to other pages or searches. For the other ISP, everything seems to work. I'll take a look at the sites you noted when I get a chance, thanks. Gerald At 09:10 PM 9/1/2001 -0700, Roni Dillon wrote: >I have had trouble all day trying to get to ancestry.com.
