Subject: Rootsweb, the suppliers of our mail list
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 14:23:56 -0400 (EDT)
Hello all:
I usually don't encourage 'advertising' on our mail lists ( I maintain abt.
6). This
is an exception. I borrowed the plea below for funding for Rootsweb. Please
take a look and consider donating if you find the mail list services have
some
value to you. Rootsweb are the folks behind the scenes that make our mail
list
servers possible.

I hope all of you are having success finding connections with
cousins, and with finding your ancestors!! PLEASE read this entire
post!!
As you know, when our lists lost our home at Maiser because of a
spammer, RootsWeb generously stepped forward and offered us a new
home. Providing the machinery and time necessary to handle this
huge number of lists - in addition to the lists, etc., already
housed at RootsWeb - is and has been an expensive undertaking.
Brian and Karen at RootsWeb have provided this for us, but RootsWeb
is a membership organization - you have the opportunity to help by
joining. Your membership fee - $12 per year total for basic
membership, no matter how many lists you are on - would help offset
some of the expense entailed in providing the service. We are not
required to join, but I encourage you to do so. Please check this
URL - http://www.rootsweb.com/ - to find out more about rootsweb.
If you use Juno and do not have net access, but would like to join,
the snailmail address is:
RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative
P.O. Box 6798
Frazier Park, CA 93222-6798
Please make sure your name and e-mail address are on the check!
Those of you who are not in the USA - please wait until they can
process credit cards; they should have that ready in a month or two
- American banks charge fees for currency conversions. I will let
you know when they tell me they can accept credit cards.
