Those of you who have received messages concerning the New List http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/DNA/IRL-CORCA-LAIDHE-DNA.html , have you complied with the request to announce the list on your related lists? I have been reluctant to do so because of their relation with FamilyTreeDNA which I do not believe is related to Rootsweb/Ancestry. Am I just being paranoid? Jim

Rootsweb.com has allowed DNA lists connected to FTDNA on rootsweb.com that is just letting others know a new DNA list was developed. But they should have asked first... Nelda L.

If you stop and think about it, would they have given them a mail list if they(Rootsweb/Ancestry) were concerned about it.

I think the primary purpose of RootsWeb mailing lists is to provide a forum in which information about the list topic can be shared. If the requested announcement is pertinent to your list's topic, and it is your policy to permit such, in general, I see no problem with the announcement (with added comments as you see fit). For me, the relationship with FamilyTreeDNA is totally irrelevant. The far and away most active RootsWeb list to which I subscribe -- averaging over 1,000 messages per month for the last six months -- discusses The Master Genealogist. TMG is a direct competitor to Family Tree Maker -- which is owned by the Ancestry/RootsWeb family of companies. Darrell
