Subject: New - British America List
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1999 21:44:00 -0400

Below is a message that I recently sent to the British America
(Rootsweb) Mailing List. Some List Members here may be interested in
it. My hope is that having set up the List - it will pretty much
function on it's own. ( What I'm still hoping will happen someday with
this the Canada Orange List too. <grin> )
