Les- I wouldn't worry about that just yet. The staff is now working on
bringing the next 5000 surnames into the cluster setup. So many names missed
in the initial phase I am sure will be being brought into the system within
the next two days or so.
I have been thinking about the variants and purposely stopped responding on
the listowners list (for which I am sure many subscribers were grateful)
about the variants because I think there is some information we all need to
know from RootsWeb management before we can even begin to proceed to find a
solution to the problems they generate. I will address that later today
after I finish cleaning out my backlog of mail.
