Hi folks- >From what I have found when I try to search/retrieve any rootsweb list archives, the messages seem to have stopped on or about June 12.............. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/. If you have noticed the GenConnect boards are now gone........there is a mega search engine instead........ http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=main&r=rw But, all I want to know is where are the list archives and when and where will they resurface. If you ever see something go through the list that you want- grab it and keep it! Hot and cranky in Mariposa, :-))! Carolyn
