here possible you should search google for another page with the same stuff on that you're looking for, use their cache: operator to look at the snapshot of the page google took or use the archive.org 'way back machine' to see old pages:
http://www.archive.org/index.php

Answer 2

You could Google the link then choose the cached option for the web page. Or find out what the home source for the page is and Google that for the sites home page.

So if your link was www.somesite.denver./?php/soandso/whatever.com you could narrow that down to www.somesite.com as the home page. Then try to find the new link to your information and use that one from now on.

The government sites are notorious for doing this. I have to relink all the time.

You must have the syntax EXACT for a link to work.
