Hi Folks, For those of you that are having trouble, I heartily recommend that you get the welcome file that is sent out when you first subscribe. I am once again getting an abundance of improperly addressed posts to the list, and people that are having trouble getting unsubscribed. To get the welcome file, send an e-mail message to: surname-query-L-request@rootsweb.com and in the body put only this text: get file welcome.txt Hope this helps!
