Subject: [ELLER-L] Let's Help Rootsweb!
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 11:51:34

This is a forwarded message I recieved and I think that this is something
everyone should be involved in. Without rootsweb, none of the genealogy
Rootsweb lists that exist (over 5,000!) wouldn't be here. They have done
so much for all of us, and I am sure some are you are very aware of what
they do. All the things like the genweb archives and everything are housed
at Rootsweb and without them, things like the censuses in the archives,
mortality schedules, etc., wouldn't be accessible to us over the computer.
I know this is kind of long, but if you are interested in helping rootsweb,
please read further...by the way, this is a great idea for a gift (mother's
day is coming up *hint*)

>>*************************************************
>>Due to overwhelming popularity of the cookbook project undertaken
>>recently by the Homespun mailing list -- and in response to scores
>>of requests -- Homespun and the Country-Kitchen are pleased and
>>excited to announce we are now compiling a second volume. It will
>>have all new recipes and differs from the first in that holiday
>>traditions will be included, which may be short essays up to 150
>>words and applies to any holiday celebrated around the world. Each
>> item will include the submitter's name, city and state of residence.
>>As with our first project, all proceeds will be used to support
>>Rootsweb. Our first edition netted over $4,000 for them. Our goal
>>for the second volume is to reach at least $5,000. With your support,
>> we can achieve this! Recipes and holiday traditions for the book
>>are being solicited through June 19, 1998, on our website at:
