>From - Mike Disbrow, listowner I got a message from Yahoo! that they will be closing their Geocities websites later this year. 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. Mike -- Beware of a man with only one book. ~English Proverb

Hi Mike, Surely we Wonderful Disbrows can get together and do SOMETHING!!! Hope someone can come up with a good idea. You've been great and I love your book Eileen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Disbrow" <dizzynorth@gmail.com> To: "Disbrow Mailing List" <DISBROW@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 7:11 AM Subject: [DISBROW] Geocities websites closing > >From - Mike Disbrow, listowner > > I got a message from Yahoo! that they will be closing their Geocities > websites later this year.

Mike, from what I understand, Rootsweb has become part of Ancestry.com but stays FREE while a subscription is needed for Ancestry. It would be worth a try anyway! I'm interested in the Disbrow lines, because although I'm a Holder by birth, my brother's DNA matches that of Robert Disbrow within 2 markers on the 67 marker which is a very close match. Someplace "back there" we have had a crossing of the lines, either by adoption or by 'hanky panky'. Whichever, it doesn't matter to me, but I'd love to be able to find the connection. I've been in touch with Mary Jo Neyer, but neither of us has come up with much of anything. Would love to know what you think???

Mike I have forwarded you email on to the administrator of my Maddox lines website asking for any suggestions. Will let you know if he comes back with any ideas. You've put so much hard work in this it would be a shame to let it go by the wayside.
