I was searching the egroups for genealogy and came aross this site SurnameSearchDaily@egroups.com It is free to subscribe and they send out a daily "surname search" list. I have found it very useful and they also list the harder to find web pages where people post data to. Example would be like a small area in a county where as Rootsweb would do the whole county. On todays list was the link below. It was helpful to my cousin and I thought someone else might want to check it out. You might also want to do a search on the egroup site to see if anyone is researching the area or name your looking for. http://genealogysearch.org/index.html#surnames
