Kerry, What Fred says about NHHILLSB is a ditto for NHROCKIN and NHMERRIM, too. The following is from the RootsWeb Common Sense Use Policy: 9.COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES REQUIRE PERMISSION. RootsWeb's intent is to provide a friendly and, as much as possible, noncommercial environment. Any activity that involves the exchange of money requires prior permission from RootsWeb. This message is being posted to these lists in order that all subscribers may be aware of the above policy. All are also reminded that anyone who choses to ignore this policy and to privately enter into an agreement for services in exchange for money, does so at his or her own risk. Further, no postings regarding such exchanges should be made here either with or without RootsWeb permission. Thanks.
