I was in touch with Ros recently and she is sitting patiently like everyone else waiting for her live website to go back online. In the meantime we have to make do with the link to her archived pages that was posted by Cwellan CoDown.

Good news.  I was worried that she would be disheartened.  Please pass on our best wishes and thanks to her.

Alas, but she is indeed disheartened.

This is not the first time that we've lost access to Ros' Co. Down website (and likely not the last). While it is great to have a service like Rootsweb that offers to host web pages for free, users are left completely in the dark when outages such as the recent one occur. Then there is the question of the long-term viability of the service. Will Rootsweb suddenly stop hosting services for free, or just shutdown forever?

The data on Ros' website, built up over many years of meticulous and time-consuming work, is an invaluable resource for us Co. Down researchers that has no equal. It would be a real shame to lose it.
