AutomatedGenealogy, a Canadian Genealogy Gem

Sometimes it seems we don't appear to truly appreciate things until they're broken...

AutomatedGenealogy, the free website with indexes and links to Canadian censuses, hasn't been working for a few days and there have been many comments on genealogy e-mail lists and queries about this.

There is a note on a couple of lists that Lindsay Patten, AutomatedGenealogy's owner, is away till mid-June. His mum's aware there's a problem with the site and has said he'll fix it when he's back. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nscumber/message/40006

When Lindsay returns, we should make sure he knows how much appreciated this free website is to all of us! Many volunteers contributed to the indexing, but Lindsay's the one responsible for initiating, developing, encouraging and maintaining these projects.

Thanks for letting your readers know that "autogene" (as I fondly call it) is having problems. I thought my PC was acting up when I visited the site this weekend, but now I know it's AG that isn't working.

peranessAG was fine last week, but will not load today 6 Feb 2012. It has helped me find relatives so many times who were misspelled and illegible on Ancestry.

Today is March 8th and the link is not working...It is a wonderful resource does anyone know what is happening? As well, I used to transcribe records, and can't sign on there either??? Sure hope its only temporary...

I was just able to go to the site without a problem. Hope all is resolved.
