WorldConnect Read-Only Transition

As of August 9, 2021, WorldConnect has been set to read only. All data currently in rootsweb will still be available, but no further gedcom uploads will be possible.

For this reason, the useraccount system has also been retired. There will no longer be any user accounts needed.

You will still be able to log in to hosted websites if you own one. You can also reset your hosted website account password. If you would like to delete a tree you posted, please contact Customer Support.

Further modifications in 2023[]

See Rootsweb for details.
