Hi, cousins, This is a bit weird, but for some reason, although I started this list at Rootsweb a month or so ago, I haven't been getting any messages or announcements from the system. I just happened to do a search of the subscribers on the list maintenance page today, when I was testing a new subscribe/unsubscribe form (more on that later), and discovered a whole bunch of you have been using it!! That's wonderful, but I'm a bit disconcerted about having missed out. I'll have to see what's going on and get the backfiles if I can. So, a belated welcome to you all! <G> As mentioned above, I've just installed a new form in my website to make it easier to subscribe or unsubscribe to this list. That's at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kwc/boynton/list.html I'm going to put a link to that page in the site's homepage and the Boynton directory index page, and will add this info to the taglines for list messages to make it easier to find. Cheers, Katherine Sorry for neglecting to answer any queries I missed seeing up to this point! http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~kwc <-- NEW location genealogy/family history http://www.cd-info.com <-- The CD Information Center http://www.cd-webstore.com <-- Information products about CD Technology HACKWORTH-L & BOYNTON-L surname discussion lists at http://www.rootsweb.com (list subscribe/unsubscribe forms available in genealogy website) Glad to be a Rootsweb Donor
