I haven't had my pages on Rootsweb for years, so as long as I can afford to pay my yearly hosting fee, they will stay off of Rootsweb and free website servers.

I have to figure out what band width I have left after I do my move. Hopefully, Mike Jarvis will be helping with the moves and Go-Daddy is going to be busy for a while with domain names. Some people are happy with the banner, I feel they are just an entry to gather all they can and I think it is time we move all sites off RW, especially the USGenWeb Project pages. g On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 9:44 PM, Karen <km1109@ghvalley.net> wrote: > Hi Gail, > You're welcome, and I'm sorry if that was out of line. > I have my own domain also, just wanted to offer the information for the > other counties that are still on Rootsweb.

Hi Gail, You're welcome, and I'm sorry if that was out of line. I have my own domain also, just wanted to offer the information for the other counties that are still on Rootsweb. Joy Fisher has offered free web space for any and all USGenWeb pages. Seems like a good offer. What are your thoughts? Do you think she has enough space for everyone? If I had extra space I would love to offer it to whomever needs it, but I'm getting pretty close to my limit without going up to the next level. It's very kind of you to offer space also.

Thanks Karen for bringing this up to Colorado rather then me doing it. I have my own server now too and plan to move my counties off RW and it will happen before the 15th.

Personally I have been preparing for this since the shenanigans they pulled last fall. I am moving my counties to www.theusgenweb.org server. This is a server Joy Fisher offered to us free last fall. If you want more information email Joy at sdgenweb@gmail.com. There is no charge. See her offer at www.theusgenweb.org. My new addresses will be: http://theusgenweb.org/co/routt/ http://theusgenweb.org/co/montezuma http://theusgenweb.org/co/sanjuan http://theusgenweb.org/co/grant/ http://theusgenweb.org/co/jackson/ http://theusgenweb.org/co/laplata/ (Not all are functioning yet but will be by March 15.) If your county adjoins one of my 6, please change your links accordingly. All of my counties are moving to Joy's Server except for 3 in Mississippi to which I own the domain rights.

Hi all fellow CC's, All of you are aware by now that if you have your county pages on Rootsweb, they are going to be branded by the Ancestry banner. There is nothing you can do about this, but you need to know what your options are. It may be perfectly fine with you, and if so, you don't need to read the rest of this message. If you don't agree with it, then please do read on and I will try to explain the options you have. Personally, I do not agree with this move by Ancestry for a couple of reasons. First, our National Bylaws state that we are not allowed to have a link on our "home" page for profit. But that is exactly what they are going to put there, a direct link to Ancestry. Second, the custom banner they have made for USGenWeb says "part of the Ancestry.com community". USGenWeb is not and never has been a part of Ancestry. Third, Ancestry's Use clause says they can take any and all data you have placed on your web pages and do whatever they want with it, which includes putting it behind their pay-per-view front or burn it to CD's and sell it. Therefore, what can you, as a CC do, and what are your choices? 1. You may choose to leave your pages on Rootsweb and live with the banner and their Use clause. 2. You may move your pages onto a different server. There's your choices. Simply put, their way or the highway. And if that's okay with you, no one in this organization can fault you for it. Now, what do you do if you choose option #2? First you look for a different server. You type in "web hosting" into google or what ever search engine you use. You will find a listing for Top Ten Web Hosts. http://www.top10hostinglist.com/?gclid=CInp_t-T_JECFQXwlgodwET8xQ You may choose from that list, OR you can type in "Free web hosting" and see what comes up. I found this site: http://www.free-webhosts.com/ I didn't go through the site to see what is there, but this will give you some leads to look into. Keep in mind that any free web host may have more banners and stuff that you don't want. That's the price of "Free". So before signing up, make sure you know what you are getting. If you look at startlogic on the first list, you will see that it only costs $4.95 per month, and it's on your own domain, one that you name, such as mine is kmitch.com They offer free set-up, 1500 GB of space, 15,000GB bandwidth, free domain name, and lots of other goodies. This is just an example of what to look for. The one problem with startlogic, which I didn't consider a problem, was that they don't offer free transfers, which means they won't move your whole site for you. You have to do that yourself. If that sounds daunting, believe me, it isn't. They will walk you through the set-up and then you just FTP your files up, just like you're doing right now on Rootsweb. I am not advocating any one server over another, I'm merely giving one example of what's out there that you can look at. Now if you're serious about moving your pages but don't want to go it alone, you may want to team up with another CC and split the cost. As I said in an earlier email, it costs less to have your own domain than most people spend on cokes for a month, and you have full assurance that no one is going to brand your site or abscond with your data to make a profit on it. I hope I've helped in answering some questions you may have about all of this, but if anything at all is not clear, please do let me know and I will try my best to answer. Again, I stress to you, the choice is yours, and whatever you decide is fine, I just want you to know what your options are. You all have a great day! Karen

Forwarded with the permission of David Graham, Sr. Product Manager RootsWeb.com. Further questions and concerns from USGenWeb Project members who host sites on TGN/RW are being gathered and will be communicated to David to address. Thank you all for continuing to share your questions and concerns with the Advisory Board. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project --- "In terms of specific timeframes, we are still finalizing plans but I expect the masthead inclusion to happen later than the March 15th date we initially discussed. We want to make sure that there is appropriate time to clearly communicate with everyone and answer questions. We are also working to find a solution to allow web masters to change their masthead preference on multiple pages without having to edit each one. This is a convenience we'd really like to add before implementing the mastheads if we can. So again, based on this I expect the date to be later than March 15th. I hope to finalize plans in the next couple days so that we can communicate a more realistic date to you."

I'd start with the assessor's office in Boulder County. It will show changes to the property. Maybe you could determine when it was moved and start with that. There might even be a reference to where the house was moved. Once you know a time frame, then you could check the Boulder newspaper for articles about it. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Gail Kilgore" <gail.kilgore@gmail.com> > HELP!!!! > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: > Date: Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM > Subject: Historical House in Boulder County > To: gail.kilgore@gmail.com > > > Gail, My name is Mike Lewis and I live in Yampa, Co.

Please forward to all USGenWeb Project lists. --- To All USGenWeb Project members who host sites on TGN/RW ("RootsWeb"): TGN/RW ("RootsWeb") has implemented a policy change in which banners are to be placed on all TGN/RW hosted websites. The USGenWeb Advisory Board contacted RootsWeb in regard to their plan to install banners on their webspace and have negotiated a banner specific to The USGenWeb Project that will be placed on the national pages of The USGenWeb Project. While these negotiations were ongoing, TGN/RW postponed applying the banners to sites of the USGenWeb Project to work on the concept of USGenWeb having a custom banner. The banner that we have negotiated identifies the USGenWeb Project as being hosted by RootsWeb and RootsWeb as a community of The Generation Network. The banners are viewable here: http://www.usgenweb.com/images/rootswebbanner/default1.jpg [default one] http://www.usgenweb.com/images/rootswebbanner/default2.jpg [default two] http://www.usgenweb.com/images/rootswebbanner/default3.jpg [default three] http://www.usgenweb.com/images/rootswebbanner/custom.jpg [custom to USGenWeb Project] RootsWeb intends to begin the placement of the banners beginning on or about March 15, 2008. The generic/freepages banner will be included on the server side [TGN/RW], and will not require any involvement from the webmasters. Any USGenWeb Project site that wishes to have the USGenWeb Project specific banner instead of the generic/freepages banner will be supplied with code to insert on their pages in order to cause that banner to show up when their pages are viewed. The line of code they will provide us is not a replacement banner. It will simply include a parameter on the page that the server can read when rendering the banner that will tell it to render the customized USGenWeb [Project] banner instead of the default one. The Board has made it very clear to TGN/RW that they should be the ones to implement the custom banner on Project pages. TGN/RW understands how editing each individual page could be a concern for account holders with a large number of pages. Most solutions they have looked at for doing this involve significant initial or ongoing development or operations work, but they are still brainstorming to try and find a good solution. They will get back to the Advisory Board this week after they have been able to investigate further. The Advisory Board has strived to maintain a balance of TGN/RW business needs as our host, while being mindful of the Project's paramount mission and goal to provide free genealogical data to our visitors and the USGenWeb Project community as stated in our bylaws. As National Coordinator, I want to thank all involved for their patience and input as we have worked to achieve this balance. In tandem with this, and perhaps more importantly, the Advisory Board is discussing a hosting agreement with TGN/RW. While that hosting agreement is confidential in nature, due to business concerns of our host, the Board is working to insure that the work of our many volunteers and contributors is protected. We welcome any of your questions/concerns as we all work together to finalize this negotiation process. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project

Vicki Just got our power back. Wind gusts and wet snow knocked it out mid-morning. Heavy snow moved on southeast but the wind is still moving what we have around. Those robins could be year round residents. We have a small group that has hung in here through the last three winters. Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicki Conklin" <viconk@chase3000.com> Yesterday it was 79 degrees & no wind here in Phillips County. Today snow, winds of 25 mph & wind chill of 16 degrees (gusts up to 45). Lee is probably having it even worse there in Yuma County.

It's pretty bad out here in El Paso County. Very windy and snowing.

You have that right, Ray! It's one of the joys of living in Colorado. Isn't it? :-( Yesterday it was 79 degrees & no wind here in Phillips County. Today snow, winds of 25 mph & wind chill of 16 degrees (gusts up to 45). Lee is probably having it even worse there in Yuma County. Kinda hard to believe I had four robins in my yard yesterday!
