Mike: I got this reply from the administrator of the MADDOXDNA group (my grandfather's line): "Kathy - I use www.1and1.com The domain name is about 7.00 per year and the service is about 3 bucks a month. I have 1 and 1 home, which includes domain name. Maybe 75 per year total. Hopefully that helps. Thanks, Brandon" If you think this might be an option for the Disbrow site, I would think that if all us Disbrow cousins would chip in a $3-$5 it would give you enough to keep the sight up for the next few years. It would be a shame to see all of your hard work go by the wayside.

I guess that means the Disbrow Family Website will disappear, along with thousands of others. I think that stinks, but there's nothing we can do. It's been a freebie from the beginning and I suppose what Yahoo! giveth it can also taketh away. At this point I'm not sure I'm going to open a new Disbrow website, but I'm not ruling it out either. I've thought some about looking into the "freepages" at Rootsweb; I've looked at some of those and they seem okay. I wonder if anyone on our Disbrow list has had any experience with those Rootsweb pages and might give me a critique - good or bad. Easy to work with (for a non-tech guy like me)? Your suggestions are welcome. I can't say what I'll end up doing, but I'll consider the options.
