Just to add to this Eileen. To post to the list there is no fee to belong to this list - it is open to the public and here to help those who are looking for research advise or just to learn about their heritage. The link Dan sent is for membership to the "DVHH" - and we certainly can always use more members! I'm sure I'm not stating this 100% correctly - as this is not my area, but the mail list is and I am just trying to help you to understand that they are not exactly the same. Sorry for the "jump in", but I am trying to avoid future confusion and hopefully I didn't just add to it.
