It has been quite an undertaking to get things back to normal. I have switched to a new Content Management System that I had not used before and was not familiar with. The new system is better than the old in every way, and I think it may have been a blessing in disguise to be hacked by an outsider. The site is very secure and has many features. Enjoy the site and register in the family tree as well.

Warm Regards,
Chris

It was hacked badly, and required a whole new approach for me to take on security. We are back on this software and hope it works well.
