***************IMPORTANT !!!!! PLEASE READ !!!!!*************** ==== Support of Mailing Lists at RootsWeb ==== Your donations to RootsWeb make this Mailing List possible. Without user donations, there would be no way to continue the Lists. For the upcoming holiday season, how about a little something in the stocking for RootsWeb? I'm sure that the majority of you users have found im- portant data on your ancestors that would have cost you hundreds of dollars if you were forced to dig out the information at libraries, court- houses, etc., in faraway states. Or, had you hired a Professional Genealogist, it could have cost you thousands and thousands of dollars. Just think how fortunate you are to have all the 4200+ Lists available at RootsWeb; and it doesn't cost you a dime!!!!! Come on, let's show our support for this wonderful service. Even if you can't afford much, just $5 or $10 dollars would help if each and every one of you donated. (As a personal example, let me relate this to you: A cousin of mine spent over $6000 about a year and a half ago to have a "Professional Genealogist" do research on our WILKINSON lines in North Carolina. All he did was load up his CD's on his computer and go through all the official documents from NC. Every bit of the information he found had already been found by another Cousin and me on the Web and on these Lists, mostly from the Lists. Could have saved her a bundle had she asked.) DONATIONS ARE NOT MANDATORY IN ORDER FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO USE THE MAILING LISTS AT ROOTSWEB. DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS MESSAGE IS ANY KIND OF PRESSURE ON YOU TO DONATE. IT'S JUST AN APPEAL TO YOUR FAIRNESS. Send donations to: RootsWeb Gen. Data Coop.
