On February 20th, Family History Expos experienced a severe blow when their website was destroyed by a fire suppression 
accident in the data center that housed their servers. I’m feeling rather lucky, as I just happen to use the same service provider, and of course, data center. The FamilyRootsPublishing.com website wasn’t damaged, leaving my operations unscathed. My GenealogyBlog.com site is hosted with an entirely different provider, so it wasn’t ever in danger.
Holly and the Family History Expos crew are rebuilding from the ground up. I want to personally invite my readers to visit their new website, a beautiful work in progress, and register to receive their free E-news and Tips.
We have attended many Expos sponsored by Family History Expos, the latest being those held in Redding, California; Mesa, Arizona; and St. George, Utah and believe that you will enjoy attending one in the near future. I just happen to be speaking at most of them. This year there will be Expos from California to Georgia and many places in between – and I plan to be at every one of them. Information on each Expo will be coming online soon. For more information, see their website at http://www.fhexpos.com/
Plan to attend the Immigration Family History Expo in Salt Lake City this next week (March 18). It promises to be a great educational experience for us genealogy folks…
Sorry to hear about the lost data – just goes to reinforce how careful we have to be that we all backup our family history research!
