Who is running the NCPERQUI site on GenWeb? I cannot get any response from the lady who used to run it. My wife's family wants the Speight info on there pulled as it contains a great many errors, which need some major corrections, but I get absolutely no response from the lady who used to own it so that I can affect these necessary changes to the data.
