Hi, Bob- It is always best to put a meaningful subject in any message you send to the list. You can check on your list of subscribed lists here: http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ It is best just to try posting a relevant genealogical query on the list and then you will be able to see for sure that you are subscribed if/when your message is posted to the list. Thanks! Joan, admin NJBURLIN@rootsweb.com In a message dated 1/28/2009 2:39:54 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, eelbertson@stny.rr.com writes: I don't know whether I have subscribed to the list or not. I am somewhat confues with the e-mail messages I have received. Please advise - can I now post messages? Bob Elbertson
