On doing my periodic check of my Guestbook on my Freepages family history website, I discovered that Ancestry have 'retired' the Rootsweb Guestbook that I use for visitors to leave queries/comments, etc.
I had no notfication about this or other Rootsweb 'retirements' - the Surname List & the Genealogy Forum features closing on Tuesday Oct 24, 2017.
I've lost nearly 20 years worth of queries/requests/info etc. from fellow researchers.
Luckily I have a complete backup of my website on my PC, but not the Guestbook. I wonder what else Ancestry is going to 'retire' from Rootsweb....
I now have over 600 webpages to edit.......
