Hi, Franklin County Listers! If you subscribe to an active list like this one you begin to see the same information posted again and again. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, especially when it's something that helps many people on the list. But I'm often surprised that many list members apparently don't know about the list archives. You can search and browse nearly all RootsWeb mail lists and all messages ever sent to the list. You can use the Interactive Search (search for a specific items/words) at http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl OR You can browse the various messages by going to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ I have, more than once, found the information that I was looking for without having to subscribe to a particular list. I've found obituaries for relatives that SKS had posted to the list. I recently found a lady willing to do lookups in an obscure Pennsylvania cemetery. Her message was three years old, but I wrote to her (half expecting the message to be returned) and less than two hours later I had the information I asked for. Happy hunting!
