[edit] DNS poisoning problem belong in the article?

Hi. There is apparantly a DNS poisoning problem with the myfamily.com domain. This article goes into quite some detail about the issue, and a Google search turns up a number of people who have encountered it. Should this problem be mentioned in the article? Jkelly 22:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

this is an old topic

the provo servers use an internet off site caching service for common icons and graphics to speed up their services and reduce local traffic

The main issue (according to an email message I received when encountering this issue) is that many people are using an old version of BIND on their DNS servers. When I updated to the newest version the problem went away and has never recurred. It's really a non-issue. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 16:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

All of the current (as of right now) links should remain as the article discusses all of the sites listed. I agree that other sites should not be there, but these links are central to the topic of the article itself. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 03:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Specifically, external links to the websites and official product websites mentioned in the article. --Ronz 03:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with African-American research

Many African Americans have trouble using these sites because they don't access slave records. Also surnames often changed from master to master. Many ex-slaves also changed their last names. Little legal documentation of their lineages exist as well. I don't have documentation to prove this, but I am sure that others out there know more than me on this.Dreammaker182 (talk) 15:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
