Hi Folks, Please stop posting all the comments to the list. We need to settle back into doing genealogy. . The changes to the way the list is handled were a surprise to me as well. I went into the options for the list and removed the "personalizing" of the unsubscribe message. Case closed on that one. . I don't have a clue on the second problem but... I can venture a guess....other lists are clogging up just like this one <wink> with the unheralded changes. The Rootsweb system is probably deluged. I changed the "reply to" option from list to individual. Let's see if that one helps. . After the holidays - NOT now - we will have a "roll call" for all members to post queries and surnames of interest. Be Well, Cathy DiPietro [email protected]
