Rootsweb needs financial support. Why should you help? What do you get from Rootsweb? If you are reading this message you are using Rootsweb. Almost every time you go to a USGenWeb page you are using Rootsweb. They donate the space FREE so it can be made available to all. They provide space for over 6,300 mailing lists, some geographic and others surnames like this one. There is even a medieval genealogy list that works for genealogy and history types. If you haven't checked out the lists you should. They also provide space for the GenConnect surname query boards. Have you checked those out lately? They provide space for CindisList, THE list of genealogy links. The list grows. All of this is FREE to you, the user. If they slap on a monthly or annual fee it would limit this resource to an elite group. So it will remain free. But if you use it and you can contribute please consider it. http://www.rootsweb.com Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
