The trick is to search for "1779 Argyll Estate", click on "More results from www.geocities.com", then click on "repeat the search with omitted results included", then click on the cached versions: A-C - http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:QpKukr4G3CcC:www.geocities.com/Heartlan d/Park/8997/agyllcensus.htm+&hl=en D-L - http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:fC5BR_2iYWkC:www.geocities.com/Heartlan d/Park/8997/namesDtoL.htm+&hl=en M-Z - http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:oa_fSMwFiWkC:www.geocities.com/Heartlan d/Park/8997/namesMtoZ.htm+dean_currie%40dccnet.com+argyll+&hl=en Mc - http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:2jjk0qC06LwC:www.geocities.com/Heartlan d/Park/8997/namesMc.htm+dean_currie%40dccnet.com+argyll+&hl=en Another good resource for finding defunct webpages is Alexa's "Wayback Machine" at http://www.archive.org/ . For that, you need to know the URL. If you can find another page which links to the page you want, you can right click on the link, select "Copy Shortcut", then paste it into the Wayback Machine's URL box. With a little smarts and determination, almost any dead page can be resurrected. Between Google and Alexa there are TERABYTES of archived webpages. JDM
