I received this news today. Don't know if all of this is on rootsweb, but here it is on Ancestry.com for our use for a short time. Thought it might be helpful. I did note that if you search a surname, the male name is there, but not the female in all cases. Didn't know if it was my system or theirs, so I sent them an email message questioning this.
