A similar discussion came up on the PA Allegheny county list. Apparently the Washington county site went through several coordinator changes, and eventually the site itself went offline. Luckily, the coordinator was able to move the site and save most of the information, but not all, I believe. Anyway, another county site administrator stepped in to explain the workings of the USGenWeb/Rootsweb sites (see below). Bonnie, could we find a "permanent" location for the perry county site? Checking the OhioGenWeb site (http://scioto.org/OHGenWeb/ohiomap.html) it seems that most of the Ohio county sites are indeed hosted by rootsweb. Notice that perry county does not have a working hyperlink on this page, either. Its easy to sign up for a free rootsweb site, so as coordinators change, the URL won't have to... Thanx, Sharon in PA ------------------------------------------------------------------ As far as Rootsweb..... many of the USGenWeb sites are housed at Rootsweb.... however, quite a few are not. A lot of the Pennsylvania sites are at pa-roots.com --- Jefferson, Armstrong, Clarion, etc. Most anyone can get a site at Rootsweb and even set up their own Washington County site at Rootsweb (and folks have done it Butler County - - check out http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabulte2 )..... but the "official" county site is the USGenWeb/PAGenWeb site no matter where it's located (Rootsweb or elsewhere). >From time to time, Pennsylvania USGenWeb/PAGenWeb sites do come up for adoption. There's a complete list of the Pennsylvania sites at: http://www.pagenweb.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanx, Sharon D.
