Hi Stephanie, all, This is very odd. I get Riobard's messages, and I see them going into the mailing list archive. I'd recommend you (and anyone else with this problem) check your "spam trap" settings. Perhaps you could "whitelist" Riobard's e-mail address to make sure that anything from him gets to you. In the meantime, if anyone wants to look through the archive for Riobard's posts, take a look at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=beara We have every post since August 1998 archived there. Anyone having difficulties with the Beara list is always welcome to contact me off-list about these matters. I'll do what I can to help you get the full benefit of the Beara mailing list.
