Good day to all. Over the past several days there has been much todo about the merger of Rootsweb and Ancestry. I'm sure many of you are aware of this merger. However You can read about the particulars at these links: http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/rootsrelease.htm and http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/merge.html If you have further questions about what this means, please keep them OFF THE TNLAWREN-L list; instead, go to the help desk and ask: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help.cga As your list admin, I am adopting a "wait and see" attitude about how this may affect our list; I tend to believe the assurances given in the above releases, and don't see a need to panic until they are proven to be false. Again, please keep any questions related to this change off list; the helpdesk will be able to answer questions you may have. Jim Crowder List Administrator
