Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Subject: !!!NEW UPDATE - IGI Search Facility now includes USA!!!
Dear Listers -
I am so pleased to be able to announce this news. An incredible thing has
happened for those searching for kindred connections in the USA. Our
terrifically wonderful Hugh Wallis has done it again!!! Yes, you can now
search the IGI by town, county and state with only a surname... What was
done for the UK has graciously been extended to US records by harnessing
the information so lovingly put together by the LDS.
Use this new search feature here:

Hugh, we salute you! Your philanthropic work is a gift we appreciate.
Best wishes to all,

<<Dear Hugh,
<As I am quite sure you know, all of the Rootsweb mailings lists are
<quite atwitter with your grand performance on putting together this <new
IGI search facility for the UK. I have personally benefited a <great
deal from your work already and thank you heartily for it.
<As I subscribe to the LDS-Lessons list, others were asking when this
<was going to be done for other places, such as the United States. I
<replied to the list that you had done this work on your own and <unless
someone wanted to accumulate the data and ask if you would <share the
programming needed, it probably wasn't going to happen <anytime soon. >>
The Canadian National Archives is looking for input on making their holdings

William,
I wrote to you before, telling you that I thought we might be related. After receiving your email, I am certain that you are my half brother. If you will email me your address, I can fill you in on the details that I have. I haven't seen my father since I was in my early teens. I do believe that he is still alive but none of his family has heard from him for quite some time. I will give you some contact information. I tried emailing you directly, but I keep getting error messages.
Elaine
