List Subscribers--
The Rootsweb Review of May 26 has announced the new surname Clusters, a
central location for accessing searches, surname lists, genconnect boards
and web sites for surnames and their variants and other features.. In
addition mailing lists and boards for an additional 7000 plus lists will
or have been established.
The details for each surname are being worked out and you will be kept
informed of the services as they come on line. Consolidating resources is
an obvious and welcome step.
It will probably take a couple of weeks to work out the administrative
details and the links between the variant surnames, etc. etc.
More details are available at:

or the review has been posted at:

Sites are being created as fast as possible and may not be up yet since
there will be 15,000.
I really salute the staff and volunteers of Rootsweb for taking on this
tremendous job and hope all the subscribers will be patient as the
details are being worked out.

This is a just a model for the welcome page and links are not all in place
and not all surnames are up yet. It will take a while.
