We all have gotten messages from folks who are just starting out in their research. As the SC I get several messages a week pertaining to "where do I go from here?" There is a mailing list called GEN-NEWBIE-L and know some of the people who subscribe to it -- not as newbies, but there to help them with their problems and/or questions. I have recently started telling people who write to me about this mailing list and have gotten a few thanks for the advise. I didn't know how many of you knew of this mailing list, but thought if you didn't it would be nice to know. You subscribe to it by sending a message to GEN-NEWBIE-L-request@rootsweb.com the word subscribe in the the body of the message ONLY nothing else.
