Karon: I just applied for free webspace at RootsWeb (it will be called WestNotes) and if you will send the list to me - in Word format - I will post it there and send the URL to the list. It takes 24 hours for the site to be prepared so it will be sometime on Monday before it actually gets posted.

The list is not mine. I have no authority to do this. Sandra is aware of the possibility, and has stated to me she would have to have the permission of her cousin. It is their list, I think we need to leave it up to them. I am posting this to the entire list, because that does sound like a possible good solution, but we need to respect their rights in this and because Sandra is aware of this possibility, leave things up to her. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in this.
