I've been meaning to bring you all up to date about PML. I have
recently subscribed to Rootsweb's newest service, in order to more
thoroughly scour the Internet for our surname, and some of you may be
wondering what it is all about. (Those of you who don't read your
Rootsweb Review, that is....)
So here's the latest from RWR:
o BETA TEST OF ROOTSWEB's PERSONALIZED MAILING LIST (PML)
CONTINUES. RootsWeb's PML allows a RootsWeb contributor to enter
multiple complex search terms and receive by e-mail notification
each day 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.
BE CAREFUL WITH THE SEARCH TERMS YOU ENTER, AS YOU MIGHT BE
OVERWHELMED WITH E-MAIL AS THE RESULT OF AN OVERLY BROAD SEARCH.
Also, please be patient with us during the beta test period.
RootsWeb contributors at the $24/year level and above are
invited to beta test RootsWeb's PML at <
http://pml.rootsweb.com/>
Never again miss an important post on a mailing list to which
you have not subscribed, on a message board that you have
neglected to check, or on the RSL.
To become a RootsWeb contributor or to upgrade your membership
to the $24/year level, please visit

This is a wonderful service, and very simple to put in place. If you
have questions about any of this, including advice on "search terms,"
please contact me privately, off-list: <mailto:valoriez@aa.net>. As
part of my holiday celebration, I have not only re-upped my membership
to Rootsweb, but I have moved my contribution up a notch. I am so
thankful to Rootsweb for allowing me to expand my ring of "family" so
large -- I just love 'knowing' and helping each of you.
All my best to each of you,
Valorie
