Hi Folks: The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this POTVIN Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis. --------------------------------------------------------------- In an effort to continually improve the resources on my Acadian Genealogy Homepage for the benefit of all Acadian-Cajun 'cousins', I am pleased to announce that I have recently installed a _new_ Chat Page at http://www.acadian.org/chat.html This new chat room sponsored by the Louisiana Cajun Chat Network, winner of the prestigious "IRC Web Watchers Choice" Award, is faster, more reliable, easier to use and read (since the fonts are larger and can also be set to "bold"). You can meet and chat anytime however, I encourage all Acadian-Cajun 'cousins' to meet evenings starting at 7:00 PM (Eastern time) and "TALK" with all their Acadian-Cajun friends. PS: If this is your first time "at the party", you may want to arrive a bit early in order to have the opportunity to check the (simple) instructions on how to join-in, listed at http://www.acadian.org/chat.html PSS: As we all know, Rootsweb Mailing Lists are primarily intended for genealogy-related discussions however, there are times when subscribers might want to discuss a subject matter not quite suitable for the Mailing Lists. Obviously this ACADIAN-CAJUN Chat Room is an excellent medium for this purpose. While the regularly scheduled meeting (7:00 PM Eastern) is now a _daily_ happening for the subscribers of this Mailing List, keep in mind that anyone...at anytime...can meet to "talk" in the Chat Room. Just (privately) send each other an e-mail message and decide what date/time you want to meet. Then, at the pre-arranged time, click on the URL address: http://www.acadian.org/chat.html ...and follow instructions there, for your get-together. PSSS: You must have your Internet Browser (Netscape, Explorer etc.) java-enabled. If you are not certain how to do this, contact your Internet Service Provided for assistance. YVON L.
