Janice Asked, "Is there a way to see the old posts from before I joined a particular mailing list?" All mailing lists maintained by RootsWeb are archived. Go to: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Enter the name of the mailing list and search. Keep in mind that many of the lists are new, small or inactive. Some go back 3 years while others only 3 months. Regards, Marc Whetsel
