The Glamorgan List was the first rootsweb list, which I joined, and that was back in 1998. I always feel like I'm coming 'home' when I pop back for a while :-) Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah The Glamorganshire Canal www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

More nostalgia - those were the days when Rootsweb was privately run from a shack in the woods miles away from anywhere up a mountain in California - or something like that !! The sponsors rather than being a multi-million $ company were the listowners. In fairness, Ancestry have allowed us to keep our perk as an original sponsor, the PML feature which means for me that any reference on any of the 30,000+ lists to my family name Wedmore will be sent to me - ooops - another one will come now <grin>.
