Details on contributing to RootsWeb are available at the following RootsWeb URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html The following was extracted from the above URL. The RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative is supported by its users: RootsWeb would cease to exist if not for the support of folks like you. By becoming a Member, Sponsor, or Donor, you help RootsWeb provide Web and FTP space on thousands of genealogical topics, mailing lists for thousands of groups of genealogists with shared interests, and search engines to make huge amounts of genealogical data freely available to Internet genealogists. Individual users may join the Cooperative at differing levels of support. While there are some differences in the services we provide at each level, fundamentally when you choose a level you're making a choice about what kind of genealogical resources you want to see brought onto the Internet. If you choose not to join, you're basically saying "Let someone else do it." Members, Sponsors, and Donors are all saying "Let's each contribute something towards making more genealogical resources available to everyone on the Internet." Basically, RootsWeb subscribers can contribute at the following levels: Member $12.00 Sponsor $24.00 plus Donor $100.00 plus How to Join by Mail One way to join RootsWeb is by sending a check in U.S. dollars to: RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative P.O. Box 6798 Frazier Park, CA 93222-6798 Please make sure your name and e-mail address are on the check! Also, tell us whether you are joining as a Member, Sponsor, or Donor. Thanks! Please don't send cash, and please don't send drafts denominated in foreign currency. (American banks charge huge fees for currency conversions.) If you are outside the United States, please use a credit card so the currency adjustment is automatic and inexpensive. How to Join by Credit Card, over the Net or by Fax You can join easily from your keyboard by using our Secure Server* and your VISA or MasterCard. If you prefer not to use the Web, go ahead and fill out the form, but print it out instead and fax it to 1-805-242-3649. * "Secure Server" is accessable at the URL shown above. A Happy New Year to all, Jim Young List Moderator and RootsWeb Donor
