After a long run on Rootsweb we are now moving our free Tax List Censuses 
website to our BinnsGenealogy website. We have discovered a few problems 
with some of the recent changes that Ancestry has done to the Rootsweb 
system. The addition of the ".ancestry" in the URLs is forcing us to make 
some changes to our custom programming that we use for generating the index 
pages. And the new banners that have been added at the top of each page has 
disabled our search engine capabilities to index these pages. Simply put, 
things don't work right anymore. Moving the website from Rootsweb to our 
regular website eliminates the banner and search engine problem. We still 
have programming changes to do but that was necessary anyway.

We are adding redirect pages to every existing page that's on Rootsweb so 
everything should still work. If anyone has links to any of the county pages 
or the main page it would be advantageous to change them as pages are moved 
but that isn't a necessity. The redirect pages should handle any problems.

If anyone finds something that doesn't work we would appreciate an email 
explaining the problem. There is a lot to do and we will probably miss 
something. Oh, one more thing, the 1790/1800 Tax List Censuses website is 
still FREE and always will be !!!
