Here's where you access the archives: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Ethnic/BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA.html <A HREF="http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Ethnic/BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA.html">R ootsWeb: Genealogy Mailing Lists: Ethnic: BLACÉ</A> Archives. You can search the archives for a specific message or browse them, going from one message to another. Some list archives are not available; if there is a link here to an archive but the link doesn't work, it probably just means that no messages have been posted to that list yet.
