Thank you, Tina ----- Original Message ----- From: Anna Fechter To: Tina S. Vickery Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 12:47 PM Subject: RE: IBC statement. Tina, I saw your comment below regarding the cached pages from the Internet Biographical Collection that was released briefly last week on Ancestry.com, and wanted to make sure that you were clear that it has been completely removed from the site. Below is the latest post on the topic: http://blogs.ancestry.com/circle/?p=1792 The collection is not accessible or searchable. We have worked to make sure that any cached pages have been removed and are not accessible, even if trying to go back to them with a saved URL. If you or your members find that there are cached pages that you can still access, please first try clearing the internet cache on your computer. If you can still access the cached page after that, please provide us with the URL so that we can look into the issue further and resolve the error. Thanks, Anna ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Tina S.

Please feel free to forward to appropriate Project lists. --- Good morning all -- There has been much discussion throughout the genealogical community and USGenWeb Project lists regarding Ancestry's IBC launch. The USGenWeb Project has been contacted by TGN, and all correspondence to date regarding this collection has been shared with the Project. They have halted and dismantled the collection. The Advisory Board is also aware of continuing concerns throughout the Project that cached pages are still being accessed. The Advisory Board will contact Ancestry for further clarification of this issue. Thank you all very much for your patience as we work to answer your concerns.
