A companion list is available to the GermanRussian* list at Rootsweb.com See http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Obituaries/GR-OBITS.html Since this will provide a dedicated obits list, subscribers on GermanRussian are requested to not post obits here any longer, unless they involve a discussion, or question on same obit. < This should make some subscribers, who have indicated that they would prefer to not see obits on this (GermanRussian) list, happy. > Of course any discussion or follow-up on an obit is still most welcome here... I would encourage everyone to subscribe to GR-Obits, either in digest mode < which will "bundle" messages > , or in simple mail mode < which is one message at a time > . Perhaps we can see a reposting of GR obits on the new list as well. One assumes this will take a wee bit of time. But a second look has never hurt before.
