This is a link template for a dead website. The SSDI rootsweb site has been shut down, attempting to access it will just result in you being redirected to ancestry.com. I don't know if the links here were archived or are recoverable, as the template makes links to search pages. I'm not sure what the best path forward is here, deleting outright? Substituting the templates and tagging as a dead link? 192.76.8.91 (talk) 02:22, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
