As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a
great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message
boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account.
Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this
community.
Sincerely,
The RootsWeb team
We are presently setting up email groups at https://groups.io/. If there is
interest in migrating this list to groups.io please respond to this message
to that effect ASAP.
With heavy hearts,
