    3. FYI - Both RootsWeb and the server The American Local History Network are on might possibly have problems. Please be aware of this and expect difficulties with links that do not work. This also goes for the site the Lebanon Genealogical Society sits on. Better to be safe and turn off a server than be sorry and leave it on.
