I am Georgia Willis from Orlando FL. In using rootsweb I have realized that the people who sign up for mailing lists and message boards are usually people who do not live in that area. I had been asking for help in Georgia, Arkansas, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and Connecticut. I had not even thought to look at the message board or mailing list for Orange County FL because I did not need anything from there. When I became frustrated with no help on some of my posts and started thinking about why no one in that county and state wanted to help was when I realized that the people from that state probably were not signed up with that message board or mailing list. That's when I went to the Orange County FL message board and mailing list and there I found people just like myself asking for help from someone who lived in the area . So, I encourage you to sign up for your area mailing lists and message boards to help those like you who need help from someplace where they do not live and can not get access to the library material and such. I find it rewarding to help others while I am waiting for someone to help me. --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.
