I am forwarding for your information a message from Dr Brian Leverich, who
with his wife Karen Isaacson, own and operate the Rootsweb Data Cooperative.
Rootsweb provides web space free of charge for most of the USGenWeb counties,
the county archives, and many of the mailing lists. They are supported
entirely by member and sponsor donations. Please consider joining. Thanks

In July, RootsWeb experienced one of its largest single-month
increases in load with folks using many of our services 25-33%
more than in June.
We're not quite sure why that happened, but we speculate it's
because we've been adding new features and upgrading our servers
as fast as contributions allow. We also suspect that the new
RootsWeb Review e-zine may be helping folks find new parts of
RootsWeb.
Here are the detailed statistics on our July operations:
o 2,975 independently-Webmastered Websites are hosted
by RootsWeb.
o 50,245,222 total Web hits:
- 13,608,736 were HTML pages.
- 6,879,675 were cgi-bin database searches and such.
- 29,568,584 were graphics (gifs, jpegs, etc).
o 995,249 FTP file downloads from the USGenWeb
Archives and the ROOTS-L Library.
o 3,967 independently-listowned mailing lists are
hosted by RootsWeb.
o Thanks to a neat hack by Tim Pierce, we know we
shipped 99,934,614 pieces of e-mail to our mailing
lists.
o 60,000 alt.g and s.g.* Usenet News articles
to hosts on three continents.
o Approximately 830,304,000,000 bytes in total.
As always, RootsWeb remains supported by user contributions.
Folks who would like to become a RootsWeb Member or Sponsor
(the cost is very modest) are invited to visit:
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html
*** You can become a Member easily using your credit card
and our new secure server. ***
Support from the Internet genealogical community is *crucial*
to RootsWeb's operation. Right now, we could be hosting many
more Websites and mailing lists as well as providing many
further services to the community, if only we had the resources
to do so.
Also, we would like to publicly thank Palladium Interactive,
publishers of the superb Ultimate Family Tree software, for
their support of RootsWeb:

Thanks to everyone who participates in RootsWeb -- clearly folks
are continuing to exchanging a great deal of information! -B
