The response to link the BURKE and BURK lists has been overwhelming in support of linking the two list without one negative response so far. The responses are too numerous for me to acknowledge individually; therefore, please accept this as my gesture of appreciation for the support. As soon as RootsWeb's staff responds on the feasibility of linking the two list, I'll notify both lists. For those not familiar with accessing and searching archived messages, the Searchable Surname Archives for Rootsweb lists can be found at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Enter: BURK or BURKE (not both) (neither are case sensitive) Hint: Use spouse's maiden name (if known) as search term or any other unusual name. ------------------------------------------- Find easy instructions for using RootsWeb's Search Engine for the Archives at: http://www.shelby.net/shelby/jr/robertsn/rwsearch.htm There is also a BURKS list and its archives can also be searched using the above procedures. This list is not manage by me. Please contact me regarding any questions. Happy Huntin" Jim Young
