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: > GEN-TRAVEL-US-L-request@rootsweb.com (for the U.S. list) or > GEN-TRAVEL-EUROPE-L-request@rootsweb.com (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 Libbie Griffin: > Libbie@blazenetme.net.
