Glenn, I know you are not asking for donations but I think there are plenty of this list who are willing to pool our resources to get a few pages up and running. Let us know if you don't find a sponser and lets see what we can do. ---------- > From: Glenn Gohr <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [NEVILLE-L] Free Web Space for our Surname > Date: Friday, December 18, 1998 7:41 AM > > Dear Researchers: > > We have alll been given a wonderful opportunity by Rootsweb.
