For Thomas and others. I tried in the original instructions to make you aware that all information that is sent to the list is archived and is available to all persons who wish to review it. There is a roots web search engine that will search the mailing lists and if you use a search word broad enough you will be able to read every message posted on the List. Each years messages are archived into one large list. So what ever is submitted is archived both query and answer or data. Suppose you want to look at all the messages then search for Bottom, if you want to look only the ones for Bottoms then use Bottoms as a search word If you are looking for John Bottoms then use John and Bottoms (be sure and include the and) This is your key to all that happened prior to joining the list. the URL is http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl another powerful search URL is the Surname search for queries posted all over the GenWeb system most of these are also archived by Rootsweb and that search URL is http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi?search This is a global search. I suggest that you bookmark these lists they have helped me a lot. If any others wish to post a URL that does not charge a fee or is a general information genealogical search engine please feel free to do so.

Her name will be Becky. She is from the John R Bottoms group, although she doesn't have that information yet. Look for her. I have a concern. Are we doing too much on the Bottoms page of MyFamily and leaving it off this list. Why don't we try to keep all the info we send to the page on this list also. Both have been very helpful to me.
