I have not been able to locate this message (which is an actual
subject line) War of 1812 - Alpha List- Muster Roll
posted to NCBertie-L
The specific message you're looking for is at:
<
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/N/
NCBERTIE+1999+6851031923+F>
I found it by going to the interactive search engine at:
<
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl>
and asking for NCBERTIE, then using "war and 1812 and alpha and muster"
as a search string. It turned up two messages (this one and a followup).
Is there ANY way to see ALL the messages posted.....
Not at present. You could search the archive on "searches", one year
at a time, using "Subject" as a search string; that'll get you most
postings, though wildly out of order. Or you could use the threaded
archive, at:
<
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/NCBERTIE-L>
though right now it only goes back to February. Eventually we'll copy
older archives onto that machine, which should make things much easier
for you.
