There's a new (as yet uncategorized) Rootsweb mailing list for the KNOWLES surname (and its variants). Since the family's origins include much of ME, NH, and VT, I thought it would be useful for you to know. As with other Rootsweb lists, to subscribe send a msg to: KNOWLES-L-request@rootsweb.com with only the word "subscribe," without quotation marks, in the body of the msg. Nothing in the subject line. A confirmation msg is returned almost immediately. My apologies if you receive duplicate messages. Regards, Ellen Knowles Bisson
