Hello fellow researchers, I'd like to thank Nancy for all the work she has done with these two lists and their respective Query and Information Forums. As you know by now I am the new list and forum administrator. Let me tell a little about myself: In addition to these two lists I also administer 9 other surname mailing lists, two county mailing lists and one state mailing list. The two things that I don't like to see on any mailing list are flame wars and virus warnings. If your interested on seeing how I run a mailing list you can read my Essex County Mailing List FAQ at: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~njessex/faq/mailinglist.htm> I also maintain a Virus Warning page explaining why I don't like virus warning posts (you can't get one from any RootsWeb Mailing List). The page is also updated with the latest cures: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~njessex/misc/virushoax.htm> Since all RootsWeb mailing lists are archived and the posts CANNOT be removed please be careful what you post and how you say it. While I'm on the subject of RootsWeb let me explain the problem. RootsWeb has made both of these mailing lists and will not combine them so they are here to stay. I will seek advice from other listowners as to how they handle the variant spelling lists. The RootsWeb Resource Pages for these lists are as follows: <http://resources.rootsweb.com/~clusters/surnames/k/e/KELLER/> <http://resources.rootsweb.com/~clusters/surnames/k/e/KELLAR/> Please go to these sites and see what they have to offer. If you have a web site for either surname please register it so that it will appear on the page. Also, please review the GenConnect Forums to see what is there and to post your own queries and information. My personal Keller ancestors came from Herrenalb and married the following surnames: Graessle, Geckle, Sigfried, & Schanzin. One last thing, I've been told that all my posts come across as lectures, it's just how I write, I'm really very friendly. : ) If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or criticisms please use my personal email address. Thanks and Good Luck, Glenn G.
