Good Sunday morning all, I'm sure many of you don't know that this service exists, so I'm passing along another tidbit of research info. You know how great this newslist is for reaching people with similar interests, well if you are a new subscriber, wouldn't you like to see what we've been talking about since I started this thing last March? We now have 80 subscribers by the way. Well Rootsweb archives all the newsgroup traffic, not just for this newsgroup, BUT for all their newsgroups. You can go to their site and look to see ALL the newsgroups that exist. Those for surnames like this one, and also all the county, state or regional newsgroups. You type in the newsgroup name and then you can do a search for any word in that newsgroup. Makes it great to check out a newly discovered county your Littletons showed up in and see if anyone has ever posted an e-mail to that group about your surname. Here is their web site address. http://rootsweb.com/~maillist/ (the ~ is uppercase in the top left of your keyboard) This should keep you busy for the rest of the day. HA HA Terry Littleton (listdad)
