When I started the Live Roots project, I knew one of my toughest challenges would be dealing with dead links. I've been a genealogy webmaster for almost ten years now, and this is one of the toughest and most unrewarding parts of the job. With Live Roots, I have tried to build in different tools to deal with broken links. As you can see in the snippet you posted, the site had detected that the link failed when it checked on Oct 23rd. Rather than drop broken links, I decided to leave them in and allow visitors to make the final decision. Using the Wayback machine, many links (including yours) have already been corrected. It will take time, but I'm encouraged by the first month of Live Roots being online and the number of links that have been reestablished. Many visitors have also told me that through the Live Roots search and the Wayback machine, they were able to find transcribed data that they couldn't locate through Google. illyad <illya@daddezio.com>
