Rootsweb and Ancestry have merged; you can read about the particulars at these links: <http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/rootsrelease.htm> and <http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/merge.html> If you have further questions about what this means, please keep them OFF THE LIST; instead, go to the help desk and ask: <http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help.cgi> OR, you can e-mail me privately at janab@slip.net As your list admin, I am adopting a "wait and see" attitude about how this may affect our list; I tend to believe the assurances given in the above releases, and don't see a need to panic until they are proven to be false. Again, please keep any questions related to this change off list; if you feel hesitant about writing the help desk, e-mail me privately and I will do my best to answer, or find out the answer.
