Hi Group, Thanks Lisa, for letting us know how Rootsweb is doing. I have often thought about subscribing as a member to Rootsweb, but this encouraged me to go ahead and do it now! Without Rootsweb and USGenWeb, I would not have found my cousin Dale, which not only gave me information on my ancestors, but opened up a whole new part of my family in South Carolina that I never knew about. And now that I have met that part of the family, I am so grateful to have come to know them. Rootsweb provides us with these wonderful mail groups, where we are free to ask and answer questions on our surnames and genealogy research, where we have found so many "cousins" we never knew we had. What would we do without them??? Let's keep Rootsweb going!!! Roberta Cooke Schmidt tps914@aol.com Cooke Connections home page http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/4665/
