Dear Cousins:

This message is prompted by the fact, that information has been received by
RootsWeb that a person who listowns 100 lists on Rootsweb, is soliciting
funds, to be sent directly to him.

Now I know why people ask me if the lists I listown are free. I always reply
You subscribe to the list FREE.

Rootsweb is Free. No one subscribing to any RootsWeb List is required to pay
for any service. All contributions to RootsWeb are Voluntary.

We do encourage all of you to Voluntarily Support the RootsWeb Genealogical
Data Cooperative by contributing at:

http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html

RootsWeb is a wonderful service and is as deserving of our support as any
genealogical endeavor in the world, and we urge all of our fellow researchers
to join in becoming RootsWeb Members or Sponsors (Membership is $12 annually,
Sponsorship is $24).

HOWEVER, your contributions should ALWAYS go to RootsWeb DIRECTLY. Should any
of you ever be asked by any List Maintainer of any RootsWeb List (or anyone
else, for that matter) to contribute funds directly to that List Maintainer
(Moderator, Coordinator, etc) rather than directly to RootsWeb: NOT!

In fact, should this occur, we ask that you please forward the offending
posting/private email directly to so that action can be taken.

Sincerely,

Pat Hall, Listowner
