Good Evening Everyone, I hope all of you are having a wonderful Fall. I don't know about all of you but I am definitely looking forward to cooler weather. Living in Texas will do that to you. I thought it was time for a list update. At the present time there are 16 subscribers to the regular or L version of the list and 6 subscribers to the digest or D version. I also wanted to let you know about RootsWeb Review. If you are not yet a subscriber to this newsletter you might want to consider doing so. This is a free newsletter sent to your e-mail by RootsWeb. The information on the RootsWeb Review site describes the newsletter this way: "Each issue of the RootsWeb Review newsletter includes information about additions and/or changes to RootsWeb.com (such as new databases, mailing lists, and websites), plus tips on using RootsWeb.com, genealogical research, humor, readers' stories and tips, and other articles of interest to family historians around the world." I think you will find the articles helpful and interesting. Some of the past articles you might want to check are those providing helpful hints on writing effective queries, the best way to use mail lists and message boards, and effective search strategies. Go to this site to search or browse past issues. http://rwr.rootsweb.com/ If interested in subscribing then click on: Newsletter Management Center And one last note - no, make that a last directive....<grin>. Have a wonderful day and take care. Emma
