BUT if you post to the board and I reply to the emailed message instead of clicking on it and coming to the board, then you would never see the reply!! I first replied to the email message and then realized I had to come back to the message board, or you may not have seen the message!! So if you want to sign up for email lists, go to http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ and then scroll down to "mailing lists" they are organized by surname and place. The mailing list for Missouri are here http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/roots-l/USA/mo.html Happy Hunting!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
