Hi Fennidi, Although we those of us who are taking VU classes are paying this time, Thusday Marthe announced that VU is putting up a public access web site where the lessons will be posted without support of course ie no class meetings etc. I think this is a great idea since a lot of ppl think that since there is so much great free stuff on the web there is not a lot of reason to pay to access a site. Actually I was hoping that VU would have a policy this term so that classes would be free to "newbies" and those of us who had taken classes before would pay. Until you take a VU class you don't realize waht they are worth. Anyway Marthe asked for suggestions and Fran suggested links to genelogical sites so for Newbies. Great suggestion flp! Marthe said you could find that stuff elsewhere. Fran said that using search engines didn't turn up Cyndi's Links. Although Cyndi's and IrlGen were my first bookmarks I found Cyndi's URL in an article on searching for your roots in Newsweek. Anyway I do think Marthe is going to act on flp's great suggestion. However, I thought I would just mail my list of "hot lists" to Fianna for those of you who are new. (Or those of you who are "old" since I know that at least one member is attempting to reconstitue book nmarks.)
