Hi, Jim and Di, Thanks for this information. I'm not sure what this all means. I know that Rootsweb is being destroyed from within, which is a shame. It's infuriating for genealogy researchers to see all the formerly free sites being ruined so that subscription services will have a monopoly. I will be happy to join the email group, but am not sure how it's going to work. I must have joined the Schirmer mailing list at some point, although I don't remember using it much. I am interested in Schirmer ancestors, though. In any case, thank you for administering this.

We just wanted to encourage you all to make use of this list in your family searches. A large number of Rootsweb lists have been made inactive due to no messages over a period of time. We want to keep as many lists active as we possibly can and your participation will help toward that goal. If you have a "brick wall" in your family search, send in a message to the list address with as much information as you have and let's see if someone may be able to help fill in those blanks. Best wishes, Jim and Di
