Although the FERGUS newsgroup now boasts 30 subscribers in total, I thought I would share the size of Rootsweb who is our host server. Imagine how many FERGUS folk there are who can begin to access the information we are sharing here - the messages do go to the FERGUS archives. Some of you who enjoy statistics will certainly be in awe of these staggering figures. They do show many people are interested in genealogy on the Internet. <Electronic mail comprises the core of RootsWeb's information services. Among these is the RootsWeb Surname List, at more than 500,000 entries the fastest-growing collection of surname data anywhere on the Internet. RootsWeb also hosts one of the most active communities of electronic mailing lists in the world, supporting more than 4,000 genealogical mailing lists. The systems deliver over 100 million messages to 216,000 genealogists each month. crussell@traversecity.com http://www.traverse.net/people/crussell/fergus_family.htm Listowner for DODD-L@rootsweb.com and FERGUS-L@rootsweb.com To send message to newsgroup double click on appropriate group name
