Dear Rockland friends, I'm pleased to announce that I've set up an e-mail list at RootsWeb called NYROCKLA-L for discussing Rockland Co. genealogy and history. Please see http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyrockla/rcmaillist.htm for details on how to subscribe/unsubscribe. Basically you just send an e-mail to NYROCKLA-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com containing only the word subscribe in the message body. If you prefer to receive a periodic digest instead of separate messages, mail to NYROCKLA-D-REQUEST instead of NYROCKLA-L-REQUEST. I updated the query page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyrockla/rcquery.htm to have people direct queries to the list instead of directly to me. I will continue to archive and index queries every week or two at that query page. Queries and discussion traffic should be sent to NYROCKLA-L@rootsweb.com Pat, please put an announcement on this in the GSRC Newsletter. Thanks, --Bruce (Bruce Hamilton, Redondo Beach, CA) bhami@netcom.com (preferred) bhami@hesp.es.xerox.com --day 310-333-3538 --day http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/
