Sorry to see that the tree is still unavailable. On the search page it's showing updated Jan 2025 Black Country Connections 247328 Names, 999 Photos. So hopefully still there and will come back.

Is this where Admin get to, the Home Page but then can't sign in? If I click on one of the populare surnames I get told only Admin can see Living People.

All that work

As grangers14 is aware all possible means of contacting investigating tribalpages or others to contact them have been followed to no effect. Only thing I can think is to try loca members of parliament in and around black country. I cannot do as I am not a constituent and they will only respond to constituents. If someone does this they must detail what Black Country Coonections web site was and how important to genealogical research it is for West Midlands families.

We have no reply to numerous messages to Tribal Pages!
It is a paid for deluxe site, paid in August.
As you know, massive amount of time, years worth, has been put into it!

I have tried my best to have it reinstated!
All is not wasted though! I do have the gedcom!
That doesn't contain all the info that was on Tribal Pages, sadly!

that why i bought the USB stick of tribal pages its suppose to include the software and the pictures to view never tried it yet

Have you tried that Peter?
I didn't know about that!
Saying that, as info is usually put on daily, it would have been difficult for me to keep it up.

Mmmm....interesting!

I found this (after random searching)
Perhaps they are having major issues and will eventually work through them? Very annoying to get no response

For what it's worth, I have just posted this on that site .....

"Seems like 17 years of work has gone down the drain! The Admin and we as administrators have been unable to log in to our tree for the last 3 weeks. So many names and so many photos have been added in vain and no-one seems to care."

Thank-you for visiting NotOpening.com.

If you google Florida State incorporated Companies you can navigate using name tribalpages Inc. and you will see all public records submitted from 2005 to 10.1.2025 where it is shown as Active . An incorporated company in USA is similar to a Limited Company in UK and as such limits liabilities of owners or shareholders and has certain tax advantages and status as against a sole trader or Public Limited Company. Records submitted show owners and various addresses noted by myself before . I could e.mail Florida State identifying our situation regarding tribalpages and questioning whether they should support their status or asking is there a problem . I will only do if grangers14 agrees

Yes please, Mumbles!

Jo!

Nice one Mumbles, it's worth a try

Have you seen if you click on the link above they now have on the Bcc x site on T.pages
more "security" you have to confirm you are human...so something is going on there.

Yes and if you scroll right down to the bottom it says......Loading please wait (twice)

Yes!
It was the same for me!
I wonder if they are looking into it?
Find My Past are looking into if the tree could go there because it is so big, just heard today.

It has been a dreadful experience! And I do pray it will be sorted.
