I am the new listowner of the BEARDSLEY mailing list, and I would like to invite all of the BEARDSLEY (and alternate spellings) researchers on the Central Illinois list to subscribe. We have been having some great discussions, and many family connections have been made. To subscribe: Send an e-mail to BEARDSLEY-L-request@rootsweb.com, leave the subject line blank, in the body of the message type only one word....subscribe. To subscribe to the digest version (several messages combined on one e-mail), send to BEARDSLEY-D-request@rootsweb.com. I hope that you will join us, and will post your BEARDSLEY family data on the list, where it will be seen by other BEARDSLEY researchers, and will become a permanent part of the searchable archives.
