Unless I missed something (entirely possible), I thought the deal was struck years ago between Linda Lewis and RootsWeb to permanently house the Archives at RW. I sort of keep out of the politics, though, so maybe that changed...? Pat S.

Did you get the gist of earlier posts about USGENWeb moving it's main page with links to all state and county sites on it?? If they did that there is a possibility that we might have trouble with rootsweb and need to move our stuff to a new location> Joe Pat Sabin wrote: > Unless I missed something (entirely possible), I thought the deal was struck years ago > between Linda Lewis and RootsWeb to permanently house the Archives at RW.

There was and, as far as I know, still is an agreement for RootsWeb to host the USGW Archives. I do not think that is in question. The recent difficulties with TGN/Ancestry only concern the banner that the company wants to place on all sites housed on RootsWeb. If the current negotiations between USGenWeb and TGN are not resolved to the satisfaction of the National Coordinator, the USGW national pages may or may not move to a new server. No such move is in the works at the present time. Even if the national pages do move, that does not necessarily mean that the Archives would move. As always, county coordinators are free to house their sites wherever they wish.
