Hello Listers, Recently I have realised that the addresses for the list's archives mentioned in the 'Welcome' message you received when you subscribed to this list (which, of course, you read fully) and on the website FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page, has been changed. Also Rootsweb's list search facility had been inoperational for a while, but now seems to be working well. Both the message and webpage have been corrected and uploaded today, but below is the new section, in case anyone (especially those new to the list) want to see what has been posted or to do searches on previous posts. Cheers Peter Lakeman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since its creation in March 2000, the AUS-NSW-WEST list has been archived by Rootsweb. To look at all the posts to the list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/AUS-NSW-WEST-L/ and select a month from the next screen. This will show you all the posts to the list for that month. Alternatively, you can search for particular topics/text on the list by going to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl enter the list name (in this case AUS-NSW-WEST) in the 'Name of List' field and click on the 'Submit Query' button. On the next page, type in a search phrase such as a name or a location (do not use NSW or WEST as every post will be found) in the 'Query' field, select the year you want to search, click the 'Search' button, and a list of all post for that year which includes that search phrase will be displayed. Then select one of the displayed posts (using one of the blue options underneath each post) to view the actual post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
