I got this from the Moore-L mailing list, and I think it is such a neat
important project, I am passing it on. So you all know, Rootsweb is funded
mainly by two individuals, Karen and Brian, and since I am not independantly
wealthy, think this is a great way to help them keep us up and running.
This is not spam, just a way to let us all help them out.
