I have a list that is non-commercial, doesn't compete in any way with Rootsweb, and is open to any who wish to share any techniques or favorite sites, and ideas for general genealogical searching. It has an archive, also. It is on List Bot. It is called Genea-Logical Tips. You can apply if you wish by visiting either one of these 2 homepages of mine... http://VincentSummers.webjump.com/ or http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/3270/ Thanks. BTW, I did ask Curt about this ahead of time, and got no reply, but then I remembered he is not the maillist owner. I hope this is non-offensive. I have posted it in two or three other places... PHILLY-ROOTS-L, for example. I know, though, that rules for each site depend upon the owner. I own the Bath County maillist -- I know. Vince
