John's website was copied to the NUI Galway server last July. I have archived John's data and I know that others have too. The same disadvantages concerning a death apply to Yahoo Groups as well as a Website. If the owner dies and no one knows the login details in either case, the site becomes unusable eventually. If the details are known to a group of people, the site goes on. The disadvantages of Yahoo Groups and the Rootsweb mailing list are well known. They are old technology and do not allow the modern use of a web interface. No graphics, no links, no tables, just 1990 again. Here are the links that Paul Ó Duḃṫaiġ has set up. http://compsoc.nuigalway.ie/~dubhthach/clanmaclochlainn.com/ http://compsoc.nuigalway.ie/~dubhthach/clanmaclochlainn.com/McLaughlin/ http://compsoc.nuigalway.ie/~dubhthach/clanmaclochlainn.com/dougherty/ Gerry Hoy -----Original Message----- From: dna-r1b1c7-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dna-r1b1c7-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Susan Hedeen Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2014 2:46 AM To: dna-r1b1c7 Subject: [R-M222] Catching up M222 John's web-site is now down. The plethora of M222 specific information contained on John's site is now unavailable. As insensitive as this may sound, private web-sites are wonderful until they are gone because the owner dies and renewal not possible because of their passing. It would be of benefit to keep important files, analyses, observations, among other things in a centralized location such as what L21 offers through yahoo groups. Survival and availability of the information is more likely to remain as the torch is passed within a group. It isn't such a big thing to join for access if one wants to access it. As a project, we could accept Mike's offer to help us set up a M222 specific place, and I suggest that it would benefit us to do so...we don't need to move the forum...the files section could be tailored to suit the needs of the project within the structure provided; and certain information should continue to be filed in L21 files as what is happening now even ! if for some stuff a duplication...so that it is available to the researchers integrating it within the parent sub-clade. I hope there is further discussion of this. Well I've now over 231 emails to attend to...likely will not get through them tonight. Thank you to those who have sent their testing information to me; please continue to do so. There are many I need to respond to privately...I will do so within the next several days.

I should note that other then been an alumni of NUIG I have no connection with it since I graduated in 2003. In this case the website is running out of my public_html directory on the Computer Societies server where I still have a shell account. -Paul (DF41+) On Wed, May 7, 2014 at 12:37 PM, Gerry Hoy <gerry.hoy@ringofgullion.com>wrote: > John's website was copied to the NUI Galway server last July.
