Hi Bob,

The website moved. Please try this:-

I've been trying to reasearch my friends family history and have been trying to get into the wiltshire opc site to no avail.
I've got the bit between my teeth now and just hate not being able to get any further.

Hi,

It is down at the moment. Not sure when it will be back on line. I will contact the website admin.

Further to a reply from website admin.
Work is on-going. It is a complicated job and may take time.

Thanks for that.  Its so frustrating when you are on the hunt and then you hit that brick wall.  I suppose I'll have to go do the housework or some other boring thing instead.

The website is up and running once more. Photos on a parish page are still a problem but can be viewed in the Photo Gallery.

I managed to get on to the site earlier this evening, but it won't let me now - keeps saying 'The website declined to show this webpage'. I don't live in the county, I'm afraid, but I'm interested in Ramsbury to which I have traced two completely separate lines of my tree! I have some photos which I'd be happy to upload and would be interested, possibly, in volunteering to do some transcribing.....

Hi Dizzy Escape 

I can't get on either. I have just emailed the website manager to advise them of the problem.

Don't worry about where you live. I do not live in the UK. 

I will put a message here as soon as I get an update.

Update: I have received the following information.

"Unfortunately the site has been taken offline for a few days due to malicious hacking. This time however we do have backups in place so it should only be a few days whilst we rebuild the site platform."

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hi everyone, I am the OPC for Calne and do do the surname index on the OPC page for Wiltshire.
Unfortunately it was hacked pretty bad and so of course we now have to rebuild it.
I understand the frustration you all must have, but it will be up and running very soon.  We have of course all our records backed up so the new and improved site will be able to serve you well.

As I have access to most files if there is anything urgent that anyone needs to look up I am happy to do so
Cheers
Chris (Twopins)

Why hack an OPC site? They must be either mad, ill or both!
