Hi Renee, Brand-new mailing lists can be found under OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS until moved to their proper categories. For information and an index to the more than 28,300 Roots-hosted genealogy Mailing Lists and for easy subscribing (joining) options go to: http://lists.rootsweb.com/ Right now we are so new that we are under Other/Misc. until Roots gets DeGruy loaded in the proper area. So for the time being, word of mouth is the only way to learn of this list unless you frequently look under Other/Misc at Roots. Things will be slow at the start, but it will grow. That is a good thing because you can find out what might work and what just won't work for the list. A Web Page would be great, but I do not have the background to even know how to start one. Since there are so many similar names in DeGruy and related families, is it "ok" to put the name and the dates that you know or at least the time period and area if known, just to try to separate out the different individuals? For example: The Dominic Joseph Verloin DeGruy, (born abt 1784) in Lafourche Parish, LA married Charlotte (Carlotta) Falgout, (born abt 1788) in Lafourche parish, LA I just like to have things as clear as possible to avoid any further confusion. I am confused enough already! I get so confused with so many "Joseph Verloin DeGruy", some with different first names, others just not clearly identified, and some linked to "wrong" lines because of the confusion. It may take some time to sort out all the information, but it will work. Once DeGruy is listed in the RootsWeb Review as a new list, there will be a flurry of interest. How quickly we respond to new contacts, can have a positive effect on the growth of the our site. We just have to be flexible and consider this as a learning experience. The main goal is to share information and document what is out there. Some information may be proven incorrect. Be realistic, some "facts" may never be proven with documents. If an "educated guess" is used, show the proponderance of evidence that lead to this "educated guess". I have things that were passed on to me, but with no documentation. Now I have to weed out the fact from the fiction. Thanks again for starting this list. Happy Researching, Isabel gathrightaw@worldnet.att.net
