Hi: I just sent this message off to my own surname list so thought I would include it here also. Regards, Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com --------------------------------------------------------------- I have found so far that there are two ways to search the archives. The first given below is searched by keyword . The second address below is to search the Threaded Archive. It is split into months - so you get an entire month at a time. This is good for those who leave the list for vacations. You'll need to sign up for this site with an ID and a password. I don't think there is a charge. I am a Rootsweb member so am not sure about this. Try it and the site will let you know if you can sign up without paying dues. If any list member knows how to search between two certain dates - please post it to the list. I'd love to know how to do it. Regards, Nan List Host Hinds-L 71532.734@compuserve.com ============================== Here is the address for searching by using a keyword or keywords. http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=ARSEBAST-L ------------------------------------------------------- This 2nd address below is to search the Threaded Archives. You can search month by month. An ID and password is needed. I don't think one needs to be a Rootsweb member. If so - the dues are $12. per year. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/list-index.html
