Bon jour, St. Anners. Here is an excerpt from a note about our new list sent to me by John Fuller of Genealogy Resources: <<< Once we agree on an entry for your list, I will send it to Steven Schlossman (rootsweb), Cyndi Howells, and Vicki Lindsay so they can add the information to their web pages. This way you get access to the four sites that really count ... and they are all consistent. It also saves you the time and trouble of writing to them. I will also post the entry to the NEW-GENLIST mailing list to provide additional exposure. >>>> I send this information so you can see that the RootsWeb association may hugely benefit our researches by exposing us to many others who are working in this same area. At the same time, I can't believe that the list membership will ever be large, since the area of our focus is relatively small. Here is the entry information that will be used: <<< << ILSTANNE: A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information about the French families that settled in St. Anne Illinois and vicinity (L'Erable, Beaverville/St. Marie, et al) in the 1850s. >>> Cheers!
