Hi all: I recieved this reply from Colleen Norby, who is off line with computer problems... If you need a CABI/CADI check.. just post a note, and if someone sees a note & it does not get a reply.. email one of those who are always online... Colleen, Sharon, etc.. even Marge (me.. don't have the cd... but can forward your messages to someone who does). The lookup will be done from the cds... will be a bit more time consuming.. but at least no one will be borrowing your identity... sure wish they would borrow my bills... why don't they pay our bills while they are at it? Marge Here's what Colleen wrote: Good suggestion Marge.....as Sharon mentioned, there are a number of us that do own the cds and we did provide lookups prior to rootsweb.com buying the index and placing it on line......so I guess we'll go back to answering those requests on this mailing list - since I'm not subscribed to any of the county lists right now with my computer problem, if anyone is on a county mail list, ask them to share that there are volunteers to help with CABI on the CADI list....I will attempt to change the welcoming message from work this week...
