Hi fellow listees, You should know that ROOTSWEB.COM is the host for our mailing lists. RootsWeb differs from most major genealogy sites, as they are committed to keeping genealogical data free on the Internet so everyone can access it. However, they can't continue providing resources indefinitely without the support of our users. You'll find a complete listing of support levels and their benefits at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html RootsWeb's support levels start at $12 a year, which is estimated as the average cost for keeping the files on-line for each of our users. That works out to $1 a month - about the same cost as three postage stamps each month. They think that's very modest, and we think you will too when you consider all the services and information that is available through RootsWeb and the thousands of mailing lists, websites, and GenConnect boards we host. Please take a moment to visit the above web site and consider taking the opportunity to support rootweb. Patrick Anderson list manager
