I echo what Sylvia says.

You have to search for individual names.

The RootsWeb site says:


"If you have not created an account on WorldConnect since 4/1/2019, you MUST create a new account.
Your gedcoms associated with the email addresses on the old system will be ported over to your new account."

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Rootsweb has changed quite dramatically over the last few years. It was actually down for quite some time.

I haven't tried to get on there recently so I tried just now, and it doesn't recognise my password.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

You've spelled it in two different ways in your post.

Maybe that makes a difference?

Or try asking them about it:
