If you are having trouble logging into the site, go to Ancestry.com and test your login there. If the login works at Ancestry.com but not at RootsWeb then use the following.
http://ancestry.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ancestry.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=483

If your login doesn't work at either site, then the password needs to be reset. You can do so by emailing us or calling 1-800-Ancestry.

The ability to use the change account name or password link on the My Accounts page is not working. When this announcement disappears it will again be available.

Hot Topics

Infected E-mails and Spam
Many worms, trojans, or viruses forge (copy) the "From" e-mail address, making them appear to come from someone you know (such as RootsWeb.com). Or, they may have a file name that would make it look like a legitimate e-mail address. Spam, or an infected e-mail might indicate a message came from RootsWeb.com, or from a mailing list at RootsWeb.com, when it didn't. An infected computer is sending these forged messages to you privately. RootsWeb.com cannot prevent these forgeries, nor the bounces for failed deliveries. To learn more, and for links to online sites that can verify your computer is clean of these viruses, click here.
