Cousins, listmembers, Just in case a RootsWeb listowner ever asks you for money - PLEASE REMEMBER - the RootsWeb lists are TOTALLY FREE. As I have told you, the computers and such which make these lists possible are partly paid for by RootsWeb memberships and sponsorships and contributions from all of us who want to voluntarily do so. Karen and Brian also spent thousands of dollars of their OWN PERSONAL money last year so we could have all the good things from RootsWeb, and I truly hope that anyone who can afford to do so will join in and help - but that needs to be sent DIRECTLY TO ROOTSWEB!!!!! Those of us who choose to be listowners do it TOTALLY as VOLUNTEERS, and the vast majority of us are also sponsors of RootsWeb. The RootsWeb URL is http://www.rootsweb.com/ Also - if you WANT to send your snailmail address and telephone number to a listowner as an alternate means for folks to contact you, that is your choice. I suggest that if any listowner ever REQUIRES that you send it, you UNSUB from that list immediately. I hope all of you are enjoying whichever holiday you celebrate. Please remember that if you need to contact me in connection with anything having to do with any of the lists I manage, use my name - CAROL - as the subject line, so that I will see your post immediately rather than it getting lost amongst the hundreds that hit my mailbox each day. Also, please be sure to mention the name of the list you are posting about somewhere in your message. Thanks!!
