Most of us genealogists subscribe to several e-mail lists in our search for our family surnames and we spend hours each day wading thru hundreds of e-mails searching for one that pertains to our family. Yet, even with all the e-mails we get we can't possibly subscribe to every list that might, just might turn up one of our family names. RootsWeb has come to our rescue. They have set up a service that allows you to specify what surname(s) you are interested in and then they will forward to your mail box a copy of every message from any RootsWeb list, GenConnect post or Surname Post that contains your specified surname. This service is called PLM. I have been using it for the past 3 months while the bugs got ironed out and it's really great. You can read all about it here: (CEO's Announcement) ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/review/19991110.txt It's one of the few things at RootsWeb that is not free. It costs $24.00 a year - but that's a small price to pay. If you are interested here is the link that will allow you to sign up and to answer all your questions. http://pml.rootsweb.com/ Enjoy!!
