Title: Roger Vaughan site back again
Post by: Gadget on Friday 08 February 19 13:48 GMT (UK)

I'm not sure if members have discovered that the Roger Vaughan site is now back on Rootweb again.  When Rootsweb took all its sites down a while ago, this really useful site disappeared and could only be accessed via the wayback machine.

Here are the new links

Apologies to those who have re-found it already.

Looks very useful, i have 2 albums of photos, so could try and date few, sadly I still won't know who they are.

Thanks for the heads-up, Gadget. Didn't know about it at all. It looks, as you say, a really useful site.
Cheers,
Peter

Update

I've tried the site links today and they're taking me to Ancestry. I can now only reach the pages via the Wayback Machine.

Does anyone know if  Ancestry are taking over this  photo collection

Add - Rootsweb's main page link to 'Hosted Websites' and site index takes me to Ancestry!

I think I must be late to the party as it looks as if Ancestry have taken over many of the old Rootsweb pages. I don't see the photo pages there though  :(

I have a site at RootsWeb Freepages which is also unavailable, with the link going to an Ancestry page. It was working about 3 days ago, and site managers haven't been informed of any change to the service, so with any luck it's just a temporary glitch.

I hope so, Arthur, otherwise we've lost  many valuable  sources  :-\

My site's working again now, and so are the Roger Vaughan links in the first post here.  :)

Thanks, Arthur  :) That's a relief.

Add - this is another link that I didn't give in my original post:
