Thanks for the kind words, Marjory. I think we have a great bunch of folks on this maillist! Regarding the archives, there are two archival systems going on right now that I have posted the urls for. One of those only has the archives back to Nov. 18. The other url has ALL of our notes back to the inception of the list in July. If you click on the following url it should take you there. If you have any problems please let me know. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Happy holidays!
