Subject: [CAHOON-L] Rootsweb announcements
Many of you do not receive Rootsweb Review, and I felt today's
announcements were crucial for each one of you. Please delete if you
have already read this material -- and most important, if you are
already a Rootsweb member, and have uploaded your GEDCOM to
GenConnect!
ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE CEO, by Robert R. Tillman
o Has RootsWeb helped you this year? If so, please contribute
to its support. Only 25,000 of RootsWeb's 1.7 million monthly
users, fewer than two percent, contribute financially to
RootsWeb. During this holiday season, help us pass on to
others the kind of benefits you have received.

Mailing address:
RootsWeb.com, Inc., P.O. Box 6798, Frazier
Park, CA 93222-6798. (Please write your e-mail address on all
correspondence and checks.)
When you become a RootsWeb contributor or upgrade to the
$24/year level you gain access to RootsWeb's new Personalized
Mailing List. PML <
http://pml.rootsweb.com/> allows you to
enter multiple complex search terms and receive daily
notification by e-mail of any new post that matches those search
terms on any of RootsWeb's nearly 15,000 archived mailing lists,
140,000 message boards, and 770,000 RootsWeb Surname List (RSL)
entries. This magnificent tool is RootsWeb's "thank you" to its
financial contributors.
o As of today, users have uploaded 9.6 million names to
RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project, but our goal is 12 million
names by the end of the year. Help us reach the goal.
FamilyTreeMaker.com claims that there are 85 million names
(100,000+ GEDCOMs) uploaded to its World Family Tree. Kindred
Konnections claims that there are 43 million names uploaded to
its Ancestral Archive. However, to access these names, you must
either buy a subscription or a CD. Users who cannot or will not
pay to access your GEDCOM will not make a connection with you
and, when you upload a GEDCOM to these projects, you lose control
of your data.
In contrast, you can revise or remove your GEDCOM on RootsWeb's
WorldConnect Project at any time and RootsWeb will never burn it
onto a CD or charge others to access it. In addition, RootsWeb
is the largest traffic genealogy community on the Web.
Researchers will FIND your GEDCOM at RootsWeb.
So why are you waiting to upload your GEDCOM to the FREE
RootsWeb WorldConnect Project when you have already uploaded it
to sites SELLING access? You have the GEDCOM ready. Uploading it
to the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project is fast and easy. Every day
you wait is a day that you might miss a breakthrough in your
research. You can search the names already uploaded, upload your
own GEDCOM, or find more detailed answers to your questions
regarding the WorldConnect Project at

Happy Holidays,
