>How do you get into the searchable archives? The list archives are at Rootsweb. The URL for the Interactive Archives is: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl You put in the name of the list of interest (any of those hosted by rootsweb) which will bring up another screen with some options as to year of archive and instructions for your query. Rootsweb also has threaded archives, and I must admit I've never used them so don't really know how to do so. You can access a link from Rootsweb main page at: http://www.rootsweb.com Good luck, Elizabeth Richardson, Ketchikan, Alaska [email protected]
