Hello All, I think the problem is that this website has gone world wide. due to being helpful to researchers. The website has been listed on most, if not all rootsweb mailing lists, also to friends that are not subscribed to any rootsweb mailing lists. It is like another 1901 Census, "over used". Keep trying you will get through, I got through twice yesterday and so did Roger my spouse, he passed the website details on to me. As I said other rootswebs are raving about the website.
