Just a note to the Listers to let you know that I posted 4 messages on the Shaffer Board last night, dated 26 FEB, and because the Rootsweb server was down, I don't believe they gatewayed to the List. I wasn't a List member last night, so I'm not certain, but the messages that I posted on all of the other Boards last night, failed to gateway. I couldn't have picked a better night to post. I actually posted 46 messages on Boards last night. Murphy's Law. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.shaffer Sherri Schaefer Bagby Admin of many variant spellings of the surname Schaefer http://www.berlindog.com
