On the German Genealogy page, I typed Kingdom of Saxony in the box; a list of over a thousand pages came up on the screen. I attempted to access 160 of them before giving up. Each subject brought up a screen saying "This page cannot be shown" or words to that effect. For instance, #1 "German Genealogy Geographical Regions" and every one I clicked on after that. Do I have to join something to access the information? I didn't see anything on the pages to say so, but if I don't, why are the sites not shown? This sounds like exactly what I need, so I'm willing to join whatever if necessary. Thank you for any information Doris Schoene Westgate

Hello, Unfortunately one of our mirror sites is down at this time and will continue to be down for some while until problems can be rectified. The other two mirror sites are up and working, but the problem is that the search engine points to the site which is down. Until this situation can be fixed, I suggest the following workaround: When you get the results of a search, for each entry there will be listed the URL, for example, http://www2.genealogy.net/gene/reg/geo-reg.html If you copy and paste this URL into your browser and then remove the "2", http://www.genealogy.net/gene/reg/geo-reg.html you should be able to access the page. One other tip: searching for Kingdom of Saxony is probably not the best way to go since it finds all mentions of Kingdom, not just Saxony. I suggest that you search for simply Saxony. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope this helps. Rick Heli
