The following notice was sent to me from Rootsweb: "Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased performance and reliability for future growth. In the meantime, please take time to visit RootsWeb.com's sister sites -- Ancestry.com and FamilyHistory.com -- where you will find additional tools such as message boards, communities, and databases to help you in the search for your ancestors. Thank you for your patience. --The RootsWeb Staff" I sent them a note, and they replied that the 'downtime' could be as long as 24 hours or more, so if you experience difficulty trying to access any of the Rootsweb pages this weekend, this is the answer.
