Ancestry.com has been down since yesterday afternoon
www.findagrave is also down, and I've heard that Family Search is down as well. Anybody know what gives? Some kind of hack attack? Seems kind of odd.

Unfortunately, the issues we were experiencing yesterday continue today and our service is not currently available. We will keep you posted as we have news to share.
Says their Facebook page which won't let me link.
Didn't they also buy up Find A Grave? Maybe that's why its also down.
Which really sucks. Rootsweb is one of my primary sources of info for genealogy research. 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
