This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/6388.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I would suggest to everyone involved in family history - get yourself a free hotmail or yahoo account. Then when you shift from one ISP (internet service provider) to another, there is no email change involved. I personally have been thru Prodigy, Erols, Freewwweb, Compuserve and now have Verizon. For several years, I have used only hotmail. Since hotmail is internet based, it is available from any pc with internet access. Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
