Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am the new list owner. I'm new to list management but not computers or genealogy. I've been researching my Crumps for quite a while so like many of you I can get stuck too, however with new advancements in DNA and more and more articles and documents being fount on the 'net - well I have hope! <grin>. I've been lucky enough to also find online cousins from several lines! So it can be a fun adventure for us all - you never know when things will turn a corner and your brick wall crumbles and you find yourself all the way back to 1600 (or earlier) (tho I doubt many of us will be lucky enough to get back to 0001 :) I don't have many "rules" other than the standard usage and netiquette. Rootsweb does not allow marketing of products/services (without approval) so that type of information should be taken off list. I'm a strong believer in DNA research so talk about companies providing services can be mentioned, just as long as you don't become a "commercial" for any particular company. No rudeness please - from time to time we tend to get people who are new or confused about what is a list and how it functions - we've all been there (tho some people catch on sooner than others :) ... so be kind :) If you have any questions or need any help - even for looking stuff up please post! Someone will come along and try to help you out - I know there are many helpful people on this list (I've been on it for awhile) :) Respectfully, Crystal
