I cannot contact the “Contact” for an specific “Ancestry World Tree Project” family database. Please advise.
While searching Ancestry.com, I happened upon my paternal great-grandfather and great-grandmother (and through them my paternal g-g-grandfather and g-g-grandmother) in a World Tree Project family database. I wish to access the rest of the information to see what the connection between our two families is. Also, I have the names, and dates for births, marriages, and deaths for the next three generations of two of the couple’s three daughters — and — most for the following two generations as well. It would be my pleasure to offer the information that I have to the “Contact” listed for this family tree. THAT is my problem… the last update made was in 2000 and the contact’s email is no longer valid. Ancestry.com, the site which stores the information, can offer no help in finding this man. His user name is his first two initials and his last name followed by, “…@uswest.net.” Can someone please tell me how to find his new address? Thank you in advance for any help you offer.
First, don’t get your hopes up. He may have died or lost interest. In my experience, 85% of the addresses on RWWC/AWT over 18 months old are invalid.
He might have his data on Roots Web World Connect,
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
which merged with AWT when Ancestery bought RW a while ago. If he doesn’t, someone else might, maybe, if you are lucky, and they may have a source besides him.
Another possible route – join the mailing list for the surname via
http://lists.rootsweb.com/
Explain your problem, name the name, see if anyone knows him. (You might search the archives first, to see if his e-mail address comes up in the 2000 or earlier messages.)
You could try the mailing list for the county in question, too; again, search the archives first.
Finally, you could try to Google, with quotation marks:
“gwbush@uswest.net”
Best of luck!

Deep Ancestry (Paperback) $18.51 The fossil record locates human origins in Africa, but little is known about the great journey that took Homo sapiens to the far reaches of the Earth. How did we, each of us, end up where we are? Why do we appear in such a wide array of different colors and features? Such questions are even more amazing in light of genetic evidence that we are all related–descended from a com- mon African ancestor who lived only 60,000 years ago. Thanks to new genetic testing methods, we now know that the greatest history book ever written is the one hidden in our DNA.In Deep Ancestry, geneticist and explorer Spencer Wells unravels the slight changes in our DNA over time to tell the ancient story of our shared human journey. He also details the current work of Genographic Project–the landmark study that will assemble the world`s largest collection of DNA samples to map how humankind populated the planet. He describes how the Project uses sophisticated computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people–including indigenous populations and the general public–to reveal man`s migratory history and to better understand the connections and differences that make up the human race. The narrative works backward, starting from today and gradually working its way to humankind`s common ancestors. From the beginning, the book taps into a reader`s interest in genealogy, family history, and ethnic identity. Most of us have a decent sense of our family history, but eventually we all hit a brick wall. DNA takes us beyond it, and this is the unifying theme that will lead us from the stories of the present into the realm of deep ancestry. Now in a thoroughly revised second edition, Deep Ancestry represents the very latest research on where we came from and relates it to our own personal quest to discover the deep ancestry behind our family genealogies and touch the depths of our common origins.For more information about the Genogr |
