The Wallis site was blocked for the last week, a virus was the only rumor that came through the Lists I'm on. You could not access the data pages, only the homepage. No data could be brought up. Its been owned by Ancestry.com for several months, Hugh Wallis reported via the Dunbartonshire List [forwarded by a subscriber] that he had no control of it for months and didn't know what the problem was. A secondary URL was circulated about 2 days ago, it was an web.archive version of the site, but still you could not get to the data, it just seemed to be back to normal as you could now get to the searchpages. Yesterday, it came up normally running as expected after I was informed on a List of its revitalization, and I've used it since then at the same bookmarked address I have always used. That is the same address William Sinclair sent, so it is evidently back to its old self...except more people know now that Hugh is no longer running it. Thanks to William for sending the URL, I could check it against my old bookmark. Should anyone wish to read what was forwarded to the Dunbartonshire List, here is a link to the archived post as I've been warned never to forward or copy/paste anyone's post without permission. But I certainly can send a URL for others to read it in the Archives. I hope Ancestry does not plaster the site with its ads, but leaves the database alone. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/DUNBARTONSHIRE-GENWEB/2008-10/1223874688 Meg Greenwood ==========================
