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.
