This is such an exciting time to be doing genealogy. With the growth of the Internet, there is an explosion of new information sources available to us, and new, innovative ways of locating and organizing all that data. You've all heard of the official opening of the LDS site, and how it is getting so many hits it is already overloaded! In contrast, before Rootsweb's newest innovation, they put new, lightening fast servers online, and are well-equipped to handle the heavy traffic. If any of you do not receive Rootsweb Review, you can ask me for a copy. The improvements in Rootsweb's structure and ease-of-use are so well explained in RWR, that I don't want to try to restate, and it's unfair to the subscribers to quote it all! The Listowners and GenConnect coordinators knew about these big changes a couple of days ago, and I have just been bursting with the desire to spill the beans to my lists! Now RWR is out to the public. This is *so exciting*! Even if you think you have thoroughly researched your surnames at Rootsweb, plug into <http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/> and prepare to be amazed! All the best, Valorie, IBSSG Ecstatic newbie listowner/GCC for Baysinger and McBee Prouder than ever sponsor of Rootsweb
