I mean no disrespect... but
When I submitted the link to my web page in October, I made the assumption
that I would see it eventually listed on Cyndi's List. At the same time, I
started subscribing to Cyndi's daily list of NEW links submitted. Recently
she sent out a "newsletter" to all of the subscribers that gives a clue as
to how far behind she is on new link requests. (information below says they
are nearly 1 1/2 years behind in categorizing new links!!)
The point is that there are TONS of genealogy & surname web sites out
there that are not on her categorized list, even tho her list is huge. Be
sure to check other lists and sources of information. By subscribing to her
daily mailing list, you get to see the new link descriptions and check them
out as they are being developed.
The daily mailing list can be subscribed to in usual fashion
cyndislist-L(a)rootsweb.com (cyndislist-L-request(a)rootsweb.com put
"subscribe" in body)
~ ABOUT THE BACKLOG OF NEW LINK REQUESTS
Thanks to some hard work and diligence by Jen Godwin, the new link
submissions page for AUGUST 1998 has finally been purged, and SEPTEMBER
1998 is just about done as well. In the meantime, links are being
methodically plucked from the other What's New pages whenever appropriate
as work is being done on specific categories.
We now have a well-defined strategy outlined that should help us get
through the What's New pages quickly. For those who are new to all this,
the What's New pages are the temporary holding area for new links submitted
to Cyndi's List. They can be found at:
