My Tree


is back.  Rootsweb world connect trees are back online.  Mine is here
When I want my rootsweb tree and do not have a link, I search the database for Fleta Powell.  This never fails to bring up a very short list.  I think there are about a half dozen different Fleta Powell's in their database.  I counted but do not remember the exact number.  There notice says we will regain access to updating our trees eventually.  I was sure this would come back online.  However, their new notice makes me fearful that our freepages and carroll county webpages may not make the cut.  They did say, if these are not restored, we will be allowed to retrieve our data.  I do not even know what all I have online for our family website and our county historical website. Here is a copy of what they wrote that made me think restoring the hosted websites may be in doubt.  I am thinking a large part of their hesitancy stems from the lack of real data on the majority of these websites.  That is not the case with ours, but they are going to judge this as a whole, not our fraction.  Still I hope for full recovery.

I’ve heard not everything is coming back online, is that true? We will be returning WorldConnect and Mailing Lists back to their full functionality. Other features are still being evaluated. In cases where we are unable to bring back previous functionality or content, we will explore ways for people who uploaded data to retrieve it if we don’t feel we can put it back online safely.
