@Flominator @CompGen @renerpho What a shame that #RootsWeb was killed off by #Ancestry
I had many years of great communication on a collaborative bulletin board. Really great professional and family #reseachers... now gone.

#Ancestry has put the data from #RootsWeb Family Trees into an index collection, that's searchable for free (registration required). It contains no family connection, no sources and only years, which seems pretty useless. #GEDBAS from @CompGen is a lot more helpful, doesn't collect your personal data and sometimes even contains sources.
(thanks to @renerpho for sharing about ancestry).

A couple of messages have appeared on #Rootsweb website, 1. The Rootsweb Mailing Lists will be shut down on April 6, 2023. 2. WorldConnect family trees will be removed from RootsWeb on April 15, 2023 and will be migrated to Ancestry later in 2023. Are #Ancestry looking to end their involvement after all its not a money earner for them. #Genealogy #geneadons #familyhistory

"Note: The #Rootsweb Mailing Lists will be shut down on April 6, 2023."
The data from these 32,720 genealogy mailing lists will be lost then. Thanks, #Ancestry!
