Dear List Members,
I have just learned that RootsWeb list mail was down for about 12 hours
starting about 3:30 AM MST today (the 18th).
The problem has been fixed, but unfortunately all messages posted during
this period of time have been lost.
If you posted a message to the list since early this morning (the 18th), and
have not yet seen it appear on the list, then you will need to re-post it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Again, contact ME if you have anything to comment on, or if you have
