I am trying to get the freepages ~pick site restored.  Tom Pick's site contains data on births and marriages that was collected from microfilms of church records in the Eifel area of Germany.  Tom Pick passed away a few years ago, but the data remained at his freepages site until RootsWeb was taken down.  Before RootsWeb was taken down this site was used extensively by genealogist studying the Eifel area. I have an ~eifel site that was restored, and it contains a few links to other Eifel sites.  However, the bulk of the ~eifel site is a name index into Tom Pick's ~pick site.  I requested that Tom's site be restored, and I explained in my request that the owner is no longer living and that the site contains information used by many researchers.  The site has not been restored, and I have not receive an email from RootsWeb acknowledging that they received my request, nor have I received an email indicating whether my request has been rejected. I ask that RootsWeb please restore this site.  A couple of years before Tom Pick passed away he sent me a letter expressing his concern that his data might disappear after he dies.  Please don't allow that to happen. Thanks,Dave Hein

I have also expressed concern to Ancestry and Rootsweb staff about letting sites go that have deceased webmasters. They need to make a plan so some of us can adopt these sites or incorporate the content into our 'near-topic' websites.

I've added it to the list. Anne On Sat, Aug 11, 2018 at 5:59 PM, Dave Hein via FREEPAGES-HELP < freepages-help@rootsweb.com> wrote: > I am trying to get the freepages ~pick site restored.
