Hello, For people who live in New England, or who have an interest in the history of New England (US), a new List has just been started up. I had thought about a month ago that there is a need for this List and another Administrator volunteered to request it. * It got approved yesterday. This is the information-page for it: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Occupations/NEW-ENGLAND-RAILROADS.html It is for both the history of railroads and the railroad-workers, etc. If you know other people who might be interested in this new List, please pass the information along. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator * RootsWeb has a rule that whoever wants a new List to be started up, "must" volunteer to be the Administrator for that List. www.rootsweb.com By the way, being an Administrator of a List is not so bad ! Once you understand the "system," you just g along with it ! So, IF you think there is a List which does not cover a subject you're interested in, think about requesting it.
