>>> Gather ye rosebuds while ye may - one of the sites that will probably
>>> disappear when Geocities closes is:

>>> http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/7589/index.html

>>> German South African Resource Page

>>> This page is dedicated to various issues relating to German South
>>> Africans, including genealogy, local history and church matters. Where
>>> ever possible, identical pages have been made available in English and
>>> German.

>>> I suggest that if others know of any useful sites that will be
>>> similarly affected by Yahoo!'s decision to close Geocities, they post
>>> the URL with a brief description in the relevant newsgroups, with
>>> "Geocities closing:" at the beginning of the subject line.

>>This is a followup to my earlier off-group email.  As I mentioned,
>>Henning Boettcher lost his original web-site due to a disagreement with
>>his ISP in
>>Switzerland.  However, Wolf Zscheile (saxonyro...@charter.net) generously
>>made room for Henning's data on _his_ site, www.saxonyroots.com.  I don't
>>know that Wolf would be interested/inclined to support yet another
>>orphan, but it seems to me that materials relating to German SW Africa
>>would be of
>>interest to the same folks that find Henning's information useful.  You
>>might want to "ping" Wolf and ask the question.

> I'm not looking for a home for any one particular site (I've copied the
> site in question to my computer).

> I'm asking if we can make a LIST of sites on Geocities with useful
> genealogical information that might be lost when Geocities closes, so
> that people who might be interersted in that information can look before
> it closes.

> I suggest that the subject lines in such messages begin "Geocities
> closing:" followed by the subject of the website, to facilitate
> collection.

> [BTW: You set follow-ups to a newsgroup I am unable to read
> soc.culture.south-africa]
