Are you planning to travel to the homeplaces of your ancestors? Or have you already become an experienced traveling genealogist? Or do you live in an area many people visit to search for their ancestors? If so, you are invited to participate in two new lists on Rootsweb. GEN-TRAVEL-US and GEN-TRAVEL-EUROPE are lists created for sharing travel information for genealogists. Topics for the list include: - basic information such as the location and hours of local libraries and government offices. - advice about good places to stay, to eat, etc. - information about getting around, connecting to the internet, coping in a foreign land or strange city, etc. - any other question, recommendation or opinion related to traveling in search of your ancestors. People living in destination areas are expecially encourgaged to join the lists. Be a goodwill ambassador for your town or country by answering the questions of visitors. By participating you may make some new long-distance friendships. Europeans planning to visit the U.S. (not necessarily for genealogical purposes) will surely also find many friendly Americans willing to answer questions. Experienced travelers are encouraged to join one or both lists. Please share your opinions and the benefit of your experience with others. These lists are available in both regular and digest modes. To join, just send the word "subscribe" to: [email protected] (for the U.S. list) or [email protected] (for all of Europe including the British Isles.) For the digest mode, substitute the letter D for -L- above. If you have questions about either list, contact me at [email protected] Thanks! Libbie Griffin
