There is a helpful, informative article in RootsWeb Review: RootsWeb's Weekly E-zine, Vol. 5, No. 41, 9 October 2002, about using and searching the mailing list archives. You can view the 9 October issue at ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/review/20021009.txt. If you're not a subscriber to RootsWeb Review, please consider subscribing (single word "subscribe" in the body of a message to [email protected]). And, no, I don't get kickbacks, rewards, or even brownie points for promoting RootsWeb Review. ;-) Lynne List owner
