Now here is one of the Best Genealogical Tools that I have ever seen. You can now search the entire Data Archives of Any List that resides on the Rootsweb Server. Example this list name is WESTEX-ROOTS so if you want to search this list for the name of Holden your list name would be westex-roots and search name would be holden or HOLDEN or Holden you will be given a choice of years choose the year choose the query or message and have fun. Hours will become minutes. Also please note Rootsweb us kind of like PBS it is kept operational by donations and memberships I am a Rootsweb member./s/ Jim Lantrip -----Original Message----- From: Brian Leverich <leverich@rootsweb.com> To: listowners-announce@rootsweb.com <listowners-announce@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 11:19 PM Subject: Online: The New Search Engine Server > > >[ My apologies to the folks who have multiple or incorrect > subscriptions to LISTOWNERS-ANNOUNCE; I'll get that subscription > list cleaned up as soon as I can. -B ] > > >[ This is a public announcement -- it may be forwarded to any > appropriate audience. -B ] > > >The new search engine server is now online and can operate at the >speed of a full T1 connection. > >Courtesy of hacks by Dale Schneider, you can search the USGenWeb >Archives, now with *headlines* and *updated* to within the last 24 >hours, at: > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm > >Courtesy of hacks by Karen Isaacson, you can search the archives of >any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with >nicer *formats* and *updated* to within the last 24 hours, at: > > http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > >I'd also like to explicitly thank the folks who provided the >resources that have made this new facility possible: > > o RootsWeb's Patrons, Donors, Sponsors, and Members. > > o Palladium Interactive, developers of the Ultimate > Family Tree software for genealogists. > >Folks interested in helping RootsWeb provide new facilities can >become Members by using the Web form at: > > http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html > >By the way, the next server we'll be bringing online will be a box >dedicated to supporting Marc Nozell's HTMLized versions of the >mailing list archives.
