It would be great if Alan told us when it is no longer to be on line as he is a Rootschatter (or was).
It is still on-line today.

Its sad when sites close, but there is a cost for hosting which may be affordable when it starts out but gets more expensive as time goes by.

On the upside, this site does seem to have been captured by the way back machine.

I haven't checked it to see if all the links etc work (sometimes the captures don't get everything that was on the site) but its worth looking there when the site goes awol.

and I have just tried it again on webarchive.
Again I haven't tested all the links but the one I did click on  - Northampton Hospital Admissions Index
worked fine. The pdf opened in my browser and, should I wish to, I could have saved it from there to my pc.

Just a thought if it's not too late. Maybe interested readers of this Rootschat forum could club together and offer small donations to support the cost of keeping the website online.

My own family history website, which currently occupies about 2GB on the ISP server, costs me £60 per year. It has been hosted there for nearly 15 years and their support and backup has been excellent. (The company is based in Leeds. I could provide reference if of interest)

As a side note, I heard from the Chair of the Northamptsonshire FHS recently that NFHS will be hosting the Strays index on their website and possibly some others in due course.
