Hi Robyn Using Babelfish it translates to ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to see earlier messages to this list, you visit please archives of the list OW-Prussia-l http://list.genealogy.net/mm/private/ow-preussen-l/>. (/Das current archives are accessible only for the subscribers of the list. /) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you mailed the admin for the list in question? I have just used google as a non subscriber and found and read some of the archives with no problem, is it the current archive thats the problem? it may need the admin to toggle access on Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) I've checked everything I can think of to get cookies enabled, but I still can't get access to the Archives of the OW-Preussen-L. Maybe this message is telling me something I need to know - the bit in German especially. *------------------------------------ English language:* Mission: Genealogy & History are intertwined.
