I agree that the traffic is light. In my lists, it's light also, and I think that's because - after the crash in Ancestry - people found other ways to make connections and didn't come back. It doesn't mean they're not out there! I moved my 2 lists over to groups on Groups.io. The Rootsweb ListOwners are very helpful to people like you and I in making that happen and creating cross-references between the new group and the old list archives. I'm expecting there to be good continuity between the two. And I'm finding the new group owners to also be very helpful with getting them set up/ Don't worry about not being an Ancestry member - I have never been one. Groups.io has nothing to do with Ancestry, and there is no cost whatsoever to create groups and run them. There is a Premium group that costs but it is for fa more complicated and intensive group use, nothing like what most of our genealogy groups are like. Regards - Glen C.

Vera: Other rootsweb lists have been shut down by Ancestry but the list owners started new lists for my Ireland ancestor lists in Co. Wexford and Co. Wicklow owned by Cara in New Zealand The same with Glen Bodie !!!!!!!!!!!!!! in his post of 1/22/2020 where he spells it out " I have just created new groups on Groups.io to take their place." I own 2 lists on Rootsweb which are of course in the same situation as yours. I have just created new groups on Groups.io to take their place. I am leaving all the archives on Rootsweb. I will extract all the listmembers and send them an email invitation to join the new groups. In the Group email footer I have included a link to the page to search the old archives of that list. In the old archives I am putting a "New URL" that points to the new group's starting page. The New URL is explained in a post from listowner Anne "Pointing your list members to a new list" at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/listowners.rootsweb.com/thr>ead/3 5498549/ These two cross-links should provide some continuity as the technology changes.

Vera - all is not lost!!!!! I own 2 lists on Rootsweb which are of course in the same situation as yours. I have just created new groups on Groups.io to take their place. I am leaving all the archives on Rootsweb. I will extract all the listmembers and send them an email invitation to join the new groups. In the Group email footer I have included a link to the page to search the old archives of that list. In the old archives I am putting a "New URL" that points to the new group's starting page. The New URL is explained in a post from listowner Anne "Pointing your list members to a new list" at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/listowners.rootsweb.com/thr>ead/3 5498549/ These two cross-links should provide some continuity as the technology changes.

A hard worker, she was an employee at Cambridge Towel and then Allen Bradley where she retired from at the age of 62. Kay was very proud of her Newfoundland heritage but loved living in Cambridge. She was very involved in St. Ambrose parish and until recently attended Mass daily. Her faith was a source of strength and peace in her declining health. She loved her family with all her heart and leaves behind her children Gary (Grace), Roxanne Rourke (Frank), Dane (Kathy), Cherree Roberts (Gary) and Joseph. Proud Grandmother of Jennifer Appiah (Rocky), Nicola Giralt (Andrew), Shayna Smith (Kevin), Aimee, Heidi (Matt), Erin (Meredith), Scott, Lindsay Roberts and Stacey Kearns (Sean).
