>Hi -
>
>Just a reminder: RootsWeb will provide state and county research
>mailing lists to any SCs and CCs who would like to own them.
>
>Lists can be requested by using the Web form at:
>
>http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/members/listrequest.html
>
>The message about being a RootsWeb Sponsor doesn't apply in this
>case, and RootsWeb will host lists for states and counties who use
>other Web servers as well as RootsWeb's.
>
>State and county coordinators should look at the way other states
>and county lists are named ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/ ),
>and name their lists accordingly. Later on that will help us
>integrate the lists into their Websites with some neat whizziness.
>
>I'd encourage SCs to encourage their CCs to host lists: other sites
>are beginning to offer county lists now, and CCs who don't start
>lists soon may have a harder time building up a readership if they
>ever do decide to host lists in the future.
>
>So who says I'm not biased towards USGenWeb? I'd like to see the
>state and county research lists be a USGenWeb feature and not
>somebody else's. Cheers, B.
