Dear list subscriber,

You are all probably aware that this mailing list is made possible
through the cooperation of RootsWeb.

Depending on your own involvement with other mailing lists, USGenWeb,
etc. you may or may not know of the magnitude of support that RootsWeb
has been providing to genealogical community.

The interest in the Internet, Genealogy, and USGenWeb have resulted
in a level of website activity for USGenWeb and other genealogy sites
at RootsWeb that has been constantly increasing.

When the MAISER mailing lists fell victim to a mass commercial
email attack and were shut down RootsWeb took over the hosting of
hundreds of mailing lists.

Additionally RootsWeb is the host for the Roots Surname List
and a host of other services to the genealogical community.
If you have not done so you may want to go to
http://www.rootsweb.com/ and explore a bit.

RootsWeb was founded and is funded principally by the person efforts
of Dr. Brian Leverich and Karen Isaacson. It is largely their time
AND money that keeps RootsWeb consistently providing such great
service. In their effort to provide as much data and service for
free as possible to the genealogical community, they have been very
low key in asking for any financial contributions. There is however
a mechanism to provide support through RootsWeb memberships ($12/year)
and Sponsorships ($24/year). The details are at
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html

If you haven't already done so, are in a position to do so,
and would like to express your appreciation and support for
all that RootsWeb has provided, please consider becoming a RootsWeb
member or sponsor. Of course if you are in a position to be able to
contribute a bit more I am sure Brian will not object <G>. It is a good
way to support what is in my personal opinion one of the finest
examples
of a FREE resource on the net.

If you desire, you can send any checks to:

RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative
P.O. Box 6798
Frazier Park, CA 93222-6798

Thank you for all you have done so far.
