Maltby Genealogy — Tripod Sites Rescue Archive

About This Archive

This is a rescued copy of three related Tripod.com genealogy websites that documented the American Maltby/Maltbie/Molby family. All three sites went offline when their Tripod DNS stopped resolving, but the content survived in two forms: a set of original files on an EasyStore hard drive (the primary source, highest fidelity) and Wayback Machine captures (used to fill any gaps).

The files in this archive were merged from five source layers using an explicit priority order: EasyStore-2012 > EasyStore-2008 > EasyStore-2005 > Wayback Machine. Where the same filename existed in multiple sources, the highest-priority copy was kept. A full merge log is at _merge-log.txt.
