I while back, a asked for information on genealogy programs. I got many helpful answers, and am now well on my way to digging up my family ancestry. To those who might want the same information, there is a file on a bitnet listserv / internet ftp site that is may be helpful. To get the note, I recommend mailing the listserv at one of the following addresses: BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 Internet: LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu Usenet: ...!uunet!plains!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv E-mail consists of the line: GET FAQ 0004 If you want a complete index of what is available, try INDEX ROOTS-L These files are accessable by ftp at the internet site above. The listserv is fast, though, and can generally send you a number of files at once. Another fine source of help is the newsgroup soc.roots, or try the mailing list ROOTS-L, available from the above address by sending email with the line SUB ROOTS-L <your name> Good luck with your searches!
