WorldConnect family trees 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.
