Press for Family Crossings

For Immediate Release

(Sanibel, FL, 31 August 09)  On August 18th families that were using Sampa for their family websites got a surprise.  When they tried to log in to their family website, they discovered that Sampa had gone out of business.  Only a brief blog post informed Sampa customers that they might be eligible for a refund and that their content was downloadable but that no support was available for them to find and start an alternative.

“We realized that these families were going to feel uprooted” says Bruce Collen,  founder of FamilyCrossings.com.  “Knowing how our users feel that their FamilyCrossings.com site is a second home, we knew that we had to step in and offer these Sampa users quick, easy access to settle into a new virtual home.”  Bruce smiles as he continues, “that is why we are pleased to offer any Sampa user who moves to FamilyCrossings.com 3 months of free service and help in migrating their data.  We want them to feel welcome and to make their transition to our family websites painless” he finishes.
