has US Gen Web been bought out?

Question

I just discovered that all of my usgenweb links are broken (e,g., files.usgwarchives.net/va/henrico/wills/wills003.txt). I've found some info through archive.org's WayBack Machine, but that's slow going. I found similar information in a new-to-me http://www.us-data.org site.

Anyone know whether or not all the info from usgenweb migrated or whether it's a temporary glitch or if I need to start seeking all my files.usgwarchives.net/ links and finding replacements for them?

<heavy sigh>

P.S. to Jack - yes, I know, I should have learned my lesson by now.

found the example at archive.org -

https://web.archive.org/web/20150321010041/files.usgwarchives.net/va/henrico/wills/wills003.txt

Now I just need to figure out what profiles I used that source for (Rick, I'm seeing the value more & more of "source pages" - can't believe it took me so long to find the Lists of Lists, aka WikiTree Library!)

New links for navigation?

http://www.usgenweb.com

Click the red "here" right under the map

Select Virginia

Select Henrico

Select wills etc

 

EDIT

Checked my Yazoo Mississippi and stuff goes to a rootsweb site that requires an user name and password

US GEN NET deadends. Nothing click able for Alabama or Mississippi !

Thank you Liz, Shifflett, for mentioning Lists of Lists, aka WikiTree Library - which I happened upon four years later.

Answer 1

I contacted the project webmaster about the archives. She said the site appears to be down, checking with the ISP. Hopefully it will be back up soon.
