Happy Holidays! Programming chores due to Year 2000 at work, ISP problems at home and Christmas preparations has kept me from contributing little to this list. If you have not tried the new RootsWeb Archives and Search Engine utilities at... http://lists.rootsweb.com/~archiver/lists/ and http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl John Robertson, a fellow listowner has provided a web site where he gives help on learning how to use the Search Engine for the Archives at RootsWeb. Check out his web page and find out how easy it is use RootsWeb's Search Engine for the Archives. His URL is: http://www.shelby.net/shelby/jr/robertsn/rwsearch.htm A few lists (ROOTS-L and some of the gatewayed lists) are accessed instead through http://searches.rootsweb.com Also, Karen informed the listowners that the credit card page is now up for those who wish to contribute to RootsWeb. Look for a link near the bottom of: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html You might think about giving RootsWeb a present for Christmas for all the work they do for us. The archive development has forced them to purchase several more servers to facilitate it. Wishing you and yours a successful new year in your endeavors to find the missing links and don't we all have them! Keep rootin'!
