I would like to thank the RootsWeb staff for restoring Tom Pick's website on births and marriages in the Eifel region.  All the links in the website seem to be working correctly, and even my links to the site work.  I thought that I may have to modify my freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com links to sites.rootsweb.com, but it appears that the server automatically converts them when they are referenced.  Great work by the RootsWeb team.

This site http://sites.rootsweb.com/~pick/ is the perfect example of the value of restoring all sites even if no one claims them for editing. All the links (including in Ancestry databases) would work again, and the effort that went into the sites would continue to be appreciated and used.

I firmly believe all sites should be restored. Period. IF not for RW's ancient coding, the "security breach" would never have been a breach, and all the people who died believing their sites would live on would not now have their sites potentially "killed". If RW won't restore everyone's, what will happen to ours when we die? Why am I doing all this work if it'll all just get dumped? Judy

I am happy to restore sites upon request. And we are working on restoring a lot more sites once we've finished sorting out the freepages URLs. But again, we can't promise that every will live "forever." I don't anyone who can promise that.

Thanks Anne that all sounds good Can I request this site it had maps that were very good. Like a 1900 London pocket map http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nmfa/genealogy.html I tried as http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nmfa but Forbidden came up I did apply for my own site to come back. it was "lankshear" for research into anyone found using that surname and Lankesheer etc I assume I am in your "in-tray" Is it possible to publish a list of sites in progress I used ronlank@yahoo.com.au for my site and had a password for that but I assume I use the new password that the Blog etc said to set up. Can I also have this gmail id as an alternative for the future Thank You from Ron Lankshear Sydney NSW Awaiting Recovery http://sites.rootsweb.com/~lankshear On 17/08/2018 3:50 AM, Anne Mitchell wrote: > I am happy to restore sites upon request.
