If you haven't checked lately, you might want to check out all of Rootsweb's new surname and location mailing lists. They have been adding 10 to 12 a week for ages now. A lot of new Australia mailing lists. Tons and tons of unusual surnames have been added. This started happening when Ancestry.com bought out Rootsweb. A lot of the lists are still without a listmanager and if you'd want to volunteer to manage one that's up for adoption go to http://resources.rootsweb.com/adopt/ . If you're interested in a surname that still doesn't have a mailing list, you can request one from the same address. There use to be a minimal charge to request a mailing list but it's all free now, they're just happy to have someone manage it, which by-the-way is very easy to do. To check out all mailing lists, not just rootsweb, go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html . You can subscribe to his mailing list from that site which will let you know anytime new lists are added. Go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~websites/ for all Rootsweb's websites for research info. http://www.rootsweb.com/ has all services available at Rootsweb, i.e.. Free lookups, books available on line, etc. Sorry, I realize this sounds like an advertisement for Rootsweb but I didn't mean for it to be, only informational! Glenda (listmanager)
