===========================================================
Retiring and Migrating Portions of RootsWeb
RootsWeb
was founded in 1996 and has had an extraordinarily long and
successful run, outlasting nearly every other website
originating in those early days of the internet.
RootsWeb has far exceeded its founders' expectations regarding
longevity and its central role in creating an online genealogy
community, but maintaining RootsWeb forever is not a viable
long-term solution.
We recognize the valuable genealogical information RootsWeb
offers and are working to keep that community knowledge alive
by migrating it to Ancestry and other places throughout 2023.
Mailing Lists Archives (last updated in 2020) will be retired
on 6 April 2023 and migrated to an alternative, free platform.
Once migration is complete, we�ll provide a link to them on
the RootsWeb home page.
WorldConnect family trees (last updated on 9 August 2021) will
be retired on 15 April 2023 and migrated to Ancestry as a new
free-access collection later in the year. For help removing a
tree or its content, contact us.
Hosted websites will become read-only beginning in early 2024.
At that time, all logins will be disabled, but hosted sites
will remain on RootsWeb as static content. Website owners
wishing to maintain their sites must migrate to a different
hosting provider before 2024.
