Cousins, Fall is definitely here, and I thought now would be a good time to call your attention to a message that appeared in this week's "RootsWeb Review." I've reproduced it here FYI, and I do strongly recommend it, especially for those who haven't been searching very long, or who feel "in a rut" or "up against a brick wall." Spend some time perusing these "lessons," and see how many new ideas you can glean! Best wishes all! JS List Custodian ROOTSWEB'S GUIDE TO TRACING FAMILY TREES consists of brief interactive genealogy lessons with research tips, links to relevant resources at RootsWeb and elsewhere on the Internet, and suggested reading and reference lists. While there is no lesson "What is the Meaning of Life?," there is one called "What is the Question?" Fifteen lessons are online now and more will be posted beginning again in a few weeks. This wee hiatus gives those who haven't yet joined in the fun a chance to catch up, and the rest of us a chance to marvel at the changes, among which are some additional links and references, and improved printing instructions. The lessons are available also in PDF format. Suggestions are welcomed (please use the Feedback button at the end of each lesson). <http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/> _______________________________________________ James Shuman, Telecommunications Coordinator The California Arts Project jshuman@telis.org http://www.ucop.edu/tcap/ _______________________________________________
