    1. [BROYLES] Finding Lists and List Archives at Rootsweb
    2. George W. Durman
    3. 1) Several users of these various Lists have complained (rightly so) that it is very difficult to find non-genealogy Lists at Rootsweb. Here is some help: Go to http://www.rootsweb.com In the section, Exploring Rootsweb, the very last category at the bottom is "Communities at Rootsweb". Click on "Directory of Non-Genealogy Categories". There you will find all those "other" Lists. You can go directly to the "Communities" here: http://communities.rootsweb.com/ On that page, you will see about 45 different categories. Here are the ones in which I found things that might apply to the users on these Lists: Computers Cultures Sports Once on the various pages, you will also want to click either "Lists", "Page", or "-Marks", especially the last one. Some Lists, web pages, etc., are hidden in these "-Marks" pages. 2) If anyone has tried recently to access Archives for any List, you have received the reply, "List Not Found". This is an error. The Archives ARE still there; it's just that a major overhaul is being done on the Archive software and hard- ware and the files are off-line right now. I don't know when they will be available, but I will try to remember to let every- one know as soon as we Listowners are notified. Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman
