I got the same notice on our site. I do have a site I pay for but the free one will no longer be free.

There is no such notice on any of the sites either. This is all new to me and I've had sites for over 5 years. I have written to them asking about the June 23rd deadline you refer to and should get a reply within the next 2 business days. When I do, I'll let you know! Thanks!

Thanks you everyone, for your replies. It turns out that one of my cousins had already upgraded one of our sites. Only today did I get the POP-UP notices about the required fees for upgrading while visiting my other sites! If it had not been for the alert posted on the GENTRY Rootsweb discussion, I may have never known and would have lost 5 years worth of work! So, again a great big THANKS to you all!
