Hi all, As you can tell from the "subject" we have a new list. The following message I received earlier this evening which details the reasons for the split. I am very enthusiastic about Mike's new WOOD (NO 'S') list. This is great for all of us, WOOD and WOODS alike. It will mean that each list will be able to focus more on their respective research. Great going Mike and good luck to you and to all you WOOD members who move to the new list. It's been fun and I hope you get past your 'brick walls'. Happy hunting. It's been almost 5 years that the WOODS list has included the WOOD members, I'll miss you all. Just a little plug here which I don't generally do. Please all of you take the time to visit the rootsweb home page and if you can afford it to send a donation to keep our lists free, and to support our hosts. Just a note to those on the WOODS list who are not of the WOOD or WOODS lines, you must make up your own mind which list too be a member of. Neither Mike nor I will ask you to leave; it's your choice. A little help with those who want to move.
