To All List Members, Rootsweb has finished the project of putting all past messages sent to the list into a searchable archive. The older messages from Maiser at Indiana University are also included. You can search the archives on the majority of the surname lists at: http://users.aol.com/johnf14246/gen_mail.html It is really great. For example a state, county, first name, wife's maiden name, etc., (limited only by your imagination) can be searched within the archives for that particular list. I've tested the search system and it is easy to use. The URL for the searchable RootsWeb archive is: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Have fun. Please direct all comments and questions concerning the searchable archive site to my email address: myoung@icok.net Happy Huntin' Jim Young
