This is part of the e-mail I received this morning about GeoCities:
Dear Yahoo! UK & Ireland GeoCities customer,
We're writing to let you know that Yahoo! UK & Ireland GeoCities, our free web site building service and community, is closing on October 26, 2009.
We have enjoyed hosting web sites created by Yahoo! users all over the world, and we're proud of the community you've built. However, we have decided to focus on helping our customers explore and build relationships online in other ways.
On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files.
As some of you will know, I've been using GeoCities for my main family tree page - the one that has every individual in my tree, listed alphabetically. I was building up towards posting the latest update there, but due to the news of closure I'll have to look for somewhere else to host it now.
I'll be putting notices on each of my pages soon, directing them to a new address as soon as I can find a suitable one. But for now, this Forum will have any new developments posted here first.
