This is the answer I recieved in answer to my question. It really doesn't answer it. It appears to me and others that the site was never available to the general public, or we would have all known about it, since the genealogy community is not closed mouthed about great sites. One wonders, then why this was such a tightly held secret until it "suddenly" it is announced and "just as suddenly" it is accessed by password only. Oh well, hopefully it will be very soon.

In the last few hours it has become password protected. We will all look forward to the next update on the matter. I was able to freely access it and have reviewed the site. I was only sharing a gold mine with others. The proprietors have now, apparently, chosen to protect their investment online. I am on hold along with everyone else until further light and knowledge is received. I am just as frustrated as you are. Respectfully yours, Tom Tinney, Sr. >>
