--WebTV-Mail-1245854216-6268 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Bonnie, You are trying to access email address not web sites. Anything thing with the @ symbol is to help the system know where to deliver the mail. Most email addresses end similiar words like . net or . com but the address would be more like "www.exampleofsite.com" (no quotes in the real address). Please let me know what it is that you are trying to get to and I will set up some links for you. Then you can practice alittle. Don't worry, you will get the hang of very soon. Please don't be embarrassed, it is an easy mistake. I will be on line for the next hour, if you are around... otherwise I will be back early tomorrow. In the mean time try linking to this one. It is a good information site and lots to review. It will give you a chance to see a bigger collection on line. www.ancestry.com Good Luck, Robin --WebTV-Mail-1245854216-6268 Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Message/RFC822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Received: from mailsorter-102.bryant.webtv.net (mailsorter-102.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.92]) by postoffice-161.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/po.gso.24Feb98) with ESMTP id OAA23707; Sat, 8 Aug 1998 14:17:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fp-1.rootsweb.com (fp-1.rootsweb.com [207.113.233.233]) by mailsorter-102.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/ms.graham.14Aug97) with ESMTP id OAA19772; Sat, 8 Aug 1998 14:17:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from slist@localhost) by fp-1.rootsweb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA18322; Sat, 8 Aug 1998 14:15:43 -0700 (PDT) Resent-Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 14:15:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Jacboni@aol.com Message-ID: <31955393.35ccbf98@aol.com> Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 17:13:42 EDT Old-To: Gen-Rooters-L@rootsweb.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 16-bit for Windows sub 58 Subject: [GEN-ROOTERS-L] RE:Help in searching the web Resent-Message-ID: <"-htAu.A.JZE.0_Lz1"@fp-1.rootsweb.com> To: GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com Resent-From: GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com Reply-To: GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/1939 X-Loop: GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: GEN-ROOTERS-L-request@rootsweb.com I am doing something wrong.
