I think all will be okay and the archives will be restored. They are making big changes as far as servers go. When I move my very small website (in comparison to Rootsweb), things got misplaced, or never arrived. It took me weeks to get all the links aligned properly and I have a very small website. Give it time, things will become normal eventually. Barb, I got this reply today from Rootsweb. Doesn't sound very promising. > > Terry > > Response (Kevin) (07/13/2016 10:14 AM) > Dear Terry, > > Thank you for contacting RootsWeb in regard to access of the Mailing List > archives. > > We are sorry that you are encountering a problem accessing the Mailing > Lists.
