The following link recently appeared on another
genealogy mail list. It is only fitting that
as another fund drive begins for Rootsweb that
any pertinent information on the project be made
available. It is my understanding (Patricia correct
me if I am wrong) that Rootsweb is a for profit company
whereas
GenSoc.org is a non-profit corporation.
For those interested the following companies were
incorporated this past summer with the State of
California. The following link from the California
Secretary of State provides some quick online information
(included) and the procedures to order the following
information on the incorporated in California:
