Title: Dorset OPC
Post by: Pennie on Tuesday 11 March 08 23:20 GMT (UK)

Does anyone have an up-to-date web address for the above?  My saved one - www.dorset-opc.com - doesn't seem to be working.

Many thanks.

Someone was commenting that Sussex is not working either and they thought the whole site was down.

They were having trouble a while back with some sort of stupid infiltrators somehow ... I put up something on RC about it.

Or maybe with all the gales they have been blown away !     ;)

Do hope not ... its a fabulous and helpful site.

Thanks for your replies.  I also note that the Dorset Ancestors site seems to have "gone off air" - such a shame.

Will just have to keep trying the OPC in the hope that they reappear at some point!

I've read on the rootsweb Dorset list that the opc for Dorset is changing servers, and it's not going as smoothly as she'd hoped. Bit of patience is what we need!

I tried emailing them but the address has changed and the message has been returned to me . It really is a wonderful site and I was gradually seraching all my family names . Can anyone help pleas? .

can't help but i was just about to post about the same subject
i echo your thoughts it is a brilliant site
maybe because they have changed to a new server ther is a few glitches
and hopefully everything will be alright in a few days.
very frustrating though.

you might try this link
www.geocities.com/opcdorset/-12k-
it takes you to certain areas of the dorset opc
there is also a e-mail contact to one of the online parish clerks a deborah carmichael
would send an e-mail myself but have been having trouble e-mails seem to disappear and don't reach their destination.

sorry just tried to use the link it does'nt work
there is another way google "dorset opc" when it comes up click on
DorsetOPCindex and that will take you to the page.

Thanks for the new link spiderboy.

The Dorset Ancestors site got hit ages ago by spam thats why its down. If you click where it says click here you will be directed, follow the directions and you will be able to contact them.
