I think there is a misunderstanding here. I by no means want or request anyone leaving this discussion group. I was originally suggesting a site to download all of our information and resources. Realizing this one discussion group is not the only avenue to attain information (Most everyone here checks out other sites..ancestry.com, genforums, ect.), I was hoping to have a centralized place for everyone on this discussion group. Those that have or are participating in a MYFAMILY.COM site probably understands why I have suggested them. By most of the responses I have read. The majority seems to like acquiring the info from here alone(by the individuals here). So I then asked anyone who would be interested to let me know and I will invite them to my site. Not to persuade them to leave but rather an easy access to what I have. Does this make since or am I making it out more than it seems? >From: Diana Starr <razzberri@earthlink.net> >Reply-To: STARR-L@rootsweb.com >To: STARR-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: Suggestion for combining info >Date: Tue, 02 Nov 1999 19:32:56 -0500 > >Lynette, >Don't leave us though.....
